Trauma Treatment, Attachment Based, IFS-Informed, and couples counseling

for those ready to heal unhealthy relationship patterns, release self-limiting beliefs, and understand emotions

IFS, EFT, Attachment-Based & Systemic approaches

Welcome to a supportive and healing space to heal relational wounds, a place to understand yourself and why you do what you do, and build better relationships grounded in authenticity and connection.

I specialize in working with adults (age 26 and up). I believe in the power of human connection and using our connections to heal old wounds. Maybe those old wounds have become like well-worn paths you've paced. Maybe you only felt loved when you were loved for what you achieved. Maybe you were abandoned at a critical time and developed the belief that no one can be trusted. Maybe you think you will never be good enough no matter how hard you try. The survival strategies you have developed are no longer working or are actively harming you or your relationships. I bring a grounded, healing presence to the therapeutic relationship and believe this authentic connection can be healing and transformative.

You are the one you've been waiting for.

Services

Individual Therapy

I enjoy working with highly motivated individuals willing to receive feedback and engage in self-reflection toward lasting change. I specialize in the following areas:

Attachment (attachment trauma, abandonment wounds, shame recovery, attachment insecurity and distress, attachment injury repair)

Relationship Distress (picking the wrong person, repeating unhealthy patterns, people pleasing, self-identity, fear of vulnerability, Emotionally Focused Therapy)

Trauma Treatment and Recovery (EMDR (coming soon), CPT, Emotionally Focused Therapy, IFS)

IFS-informed therapy, based on the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model developed by Dr. Richard Schwartz, is a therapeutic approach that explores and addresses the different "parts" of your psyche. This approach believes that our minds are composed of various parts, each with its own perspectives, emotions, and roles.

In this therapy, we work to identify and understand these parts, how they interact, and the roles they play in your emotional life. By fostering a dialogue between these parts and the Self, IFS therapy aims to heal internal conflicts, integrate fragmented aspects of the self, and promote emotional resilience. This process helps you develop greater self-awareness, compassion, and harmony within, facilitating healing from trauma and improving overall well-being.

I have completed 5 months of intensive training and supervision in the IFS Model, and continue to receive consultation and supervision. In the IFS community this is known as being "IFS informed".

"The real abandonment wound came when you abandoned yourself because you thought you needed to be something different in order to be loved."

Couples Therapy

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is a humanistic, evidence-based approach to psychotherapy, drawing primarily from attachment theory to facilitate the creation of secure, vibrant connection with self and others. Rooted in the science of emotions and attachment, EFT helps clients identify and transform the negative processing and interaction patterns that create distress. I have completed advanced training in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy as well as Gottman Level 1 and IFS-Informed Couples Therapy.
