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
• Feeling disconnected from your body
• Unexplained physical tension or pain
• Chronic illness and autoimmune conditions
• Feeling “stuck” in fight, flight, freeze, or shutdown
• Difficulty feeling safe, grounded, or connected

When we experience trauma or prolonged stress, our bodies can continue responding as though we are still in danger—even when we consciously know we are safe. You may notice this as anxiety, tension, exhaustion, emotional overwhelm, numbness, or physical symptoms that are difficult to explain.

Trauma-informed somatic therapy helps you pay attention to what is happening in your body without forcing you to relive or retell everything that has happened to you. We work at a pace that supports safety, choice, and nervous system regulation.

How Does Somatic Experiencing Work?

Somatic Experiencing® (SE) is a body-based approach that helps you develop greater awareness of physical sensations, patterns, and nervous system responses. Rather than focusing only on what happened, we also pay attention to how your body has learned to respond—and what it may need to feel safer and more regulated.

In therapy, we may work with sensations, movement, breath, boundaries, and small shifts in your body's responses. The goal isn't to make your body behave differently. It's to help you develop a greater sense of choice, connection, and capacity as you move through difficult experiences.

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.

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.

Take the First Step Toward Healing
You don’t have to carry the weight of the past alone. If you’re ready to explore EMDR and how it can help you feel lighter, more at peace, and in control, I invite you to contact me.
