Whether you are feeling disconnected from your partner or find yourself having the same argument over and over again, couples therapy can help.

It's common for couples to struggle with communication and connection, as relationships progress and deeper aspects of each partner's personality emerge. These "shadow sides" often show up during conflict and can be revealed through fears or aggression. This isn't inherently bad, but it does signal that there are areas needing attention and healing.

Partners play a vital role in helping each other confront and process these triggers. Couple's therapy can help you understand and address these challenges on a deeper level, allowing you to heal, see and know each other in a new way.

I provide trauma-informed therapy tailored to the unique needs of women, focusing on healing from gender-based trauma, sexual embodiment, navigating peri-menopausal/menopausal transitions and finding your truth no matter your age.  My approach fosters empowerment, emotional balance, and resilience through personalized care.

Trauma Informed Somatic Therapy can help with:

• Trauma and PTSD
• Anxiety and chronic stress
• Emotional overwhelm or numbness
• Unexplained physical tension or pain,
• Chronic illness and autoimmune disorders
• Feeling “stuck” in fight, flight, or freeze responses

When we experience stress or trauma, our bodies don’t just “get over it”—they hold onto it in the form of tension, anxiety, and even physical symptoms. Somatic Experiencing® (SE) is a gentle, body-based approach to healing that helps release stored stress and restore a sense of safety, ease, and connection.

How Does Somatic Experiencing Work?
Unlike traditional talk therapy, which focuses mainly on thoughts and emotions, Somatic Experiencing helps you tune into your body’s natural healing abilities. Here’s what that looks like:

1. Listening to the Body – Instead of reliving past events, we focus on what’s happening in your body right now—like tension, warmth, or sensations.
2. Releasing Stored Stress – Through gentle guidance, your body naturally lets go of built-up stress and trauma, completing the healing process that was interrupted during the original event.
3. Restoring Nervous System Balance – SE helps reset your body’s stress response, so you feel calmer, more grounded, and more in control.

Why Choose Somatic Experiencing?

• Works even when words aren’t enough – If talking about trauma feels overwhelming, SE offers a non-verbal way to heal.
• Helps with stress-related physical symptoms – Chronic pain, tension, digestive issues, and fatigue often improve with SE.
• Brings a sense of safety and connection – Many people report feeling more at home in their bodies after SE sessions.

Begin Your Healing Journey
Your body already knows how to heal—it just needs the right support. If you’re ready to feel more present, peaceful, and connected, I invite you to explore Somatic Experiencing with me.

Attachment Therapy: Healing Through Connection
If you’ve ever struggled with trust, intimacy, or feeling secure in relationships, your early attachment patterns may play a role. Attachment therapy is especially helpful for those who experience anxiety in relationships, fear of abandonment, difficulty expressing emotions, or patterns of unhealthy attachment. We focus on how early relationships shape the way we connect with others and experience the world.

While attachment therapy is often talked about in terms of the way in which we attach- Avoidant, Anxious, Disorganized, etc., it’s easy to get trapped in those definitions. In truth, attachment styles are how we have coped and survived over our lifespan. They aren’t “bad”. We just need to understand them in order to move into a more secure state of being.

In therapy, we explore how past experiences—especially in childhood—affect your emotional responses, communication, and sense of safety in relationships today. By working through these patterns, you can develop healthier, more fulfilling connections with yourself and others.

Through a supportive, compassionate approach, we work together to create deeper self-awareness, emotional regulation, and a stronger sense of connection in your life.

Who Can Benefit from EMDR?
EMDR is highly effective for:

• Trauma and PTSD
• Anxiety and panic attacks
• Relationship wounds and attachment issues
• Grief and loss
• Phobias and fears

Healing Through EMDR Therapy
Gently Releasing the Past, So You Can Move Forward

If you’ve experienced trauma, anxiety, or distressing memories that feel stuck, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) can help. EMDR is a powerful, research-backed therapy that allows your brain to process painful experiences in a new way—without having to relive them in detail.

How EMDR Helps You Heal
When we go through difficult or traumatic events, our brains sometimes struggle to process them fully. This can leave us feeling anxious, on edge, or emotionally overwhelmed long after the event has passed. EMDR helps your brain reorganize these memories, so they no longer trigger the same emotional distress.

What to Expect in an EMDR Session

1. Focusing on a Memory – We gently bring up a distressing memory while ensuring you feel safe and supported.
2. Bilateral Stimulation – You follow my hand movements (or use gentle sounds/taps) to help both sides of your brain process the memory in a new way.
3. Shifting Perspectives – Over time, the memory loses its emotional charge, and your brain naturally replaces old, negative beliefs with healthier, more balanced thoughts.

Why Choose EMDR?

• No need to relive every detail – EMDR works without requiring you to talk at length about painful experiences.
• A natural way to heal – It uses the brain’s own ability to reprocess and release distressing memories.
• Lasting relief – Many people experience significant improvement in just a few sessions.
