Therapy for individuals, couples, and families

Individual Therapy

Individual therapy offers space to understand what you are experiencing in the present while also exploring the experiences and patterns that may be contributing to it. Clients often come to me for trauma, self-worth, life transitions, relationship concerns, and experiences that continue to feel unresolved. I also work with professionals navigating demanding or high-responsibility roles, including the ways work-related pressure can affect identity, relationships, emotional well-being, and life outside of work.

My approach is depth-oriented and integrative. Depending on what brings you to therapy, our work may draw from psychodynamic and attachment-based perspectives, trauma-focused approaches, mindfulness, and EMDR. Together, we may explore not only what you are experiencing, but how earlier relationships and experiences have shaped the ways you understand yourself, protect yourself, respond emotionally, and connect with others. I also attend to the ways difficult experiences can remain present in the body and nervous system, allowing our work to include both insight and the possibility of deeper emotional and physiological change.

Couples Therapy

Couples often come to therapy when communication has become difficult, conflict feels repetitive, trust has been disrupted, or emotional or physical connection has changed. Others come not because their relationship is in crisis, but because they want to understand one another more deeply and become more intentional about the relationship they are building together.

I approach couples therapy with the understanding that each partner brings a history into the relationship. Earlier experiences, attachment patterns, vulnerabilities, expectations, and ways of protecting ourselves can all shape what happens between partners, particularly during moments of stress, conflict, or disconnection. Sometimes the very patterns that help us feel protected individually can unintentionally create distance relationally.

Our work involves becoming curious about these patterns without reducing either partner to “the problem.” Together, we can explore what happens beneath recurring conflict, strengthen communication and emotional responsiveness, and create opportunities for greater vulnerability, trust, intimacy, and repair.

I welcome couples and partners across sexual orientations, gender identities, cultural backgrounds, and relationship structures.

Family & Co-Parenting Therapy

Family therapy can provide space to understand difficulties within the context of relationships, roles, and the experiences each person brings to the family. Rather than locating the problem entirely within one person, we look at how patterns of interaction may be contributing to distress and what may help the family move forward differently. With families, I work systemically and may draw from structural and solution-focused family therapy to better understand relationship patterns, strengthen communication, and support meaningful change.

This work may be helpful for families navigating transitions, changing relationships, behavioral or emotional concerns, grief or loss, and other experiences affecting the family as a whole. I also offer co-parenting work for separated or divorced parents seeking to strengthen communication, reduce conflict, and develop a more thoughtful and effective way of navigating parenting across households.

EMDR & Trauma Therapy

EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a structured approach to trauma treatment that can help the brain process experiences that remain distressing or feel unresolved. Using bilateral stimulation within a carefully paced therapeutic process, EMDR can support changes in the emotional, cognitive, and physiological responses associated with difficult experiences. My trauma work also includes experience supporting survivors of sexual assault, domestic and intimate partner violence, and other experiences involving safety, trust, and relational trauma.

EMDR may be particularly helpful when insight alone has not changed the way an experience continues to affect you. I completed EMDR training through the Institute for Creative Mindfulness and am a member of the EMDR International Association (EMDRIA). My scholarly work also examines the integration of EMDR within couples therapy and its potential applications within relational trauma treatment.
