Individual Therapy
Go beyond understanding your patterns to changing how you experience yourself, your relationships, and your life.
You may be coming to therapy for the first time, or you may have spent years trying to understand yourself. Maybe you already know where some of your patterns come from, or maybe you’re just beginning to recognize them. You might notice yourself becoming anxious, shutting down, withdrawing, overthinking, people-pleasing, taking responsibility for everyone around you, or lashing out at others. And even when you understand what’s happening, you may find that when something hits the right nerve, your body reacts before you have a chance to think your way through it.
That’s because the patterns we develop in response to trauma, chronic stress, relationships, and difficult experiences aren’t simply thoughts or habits to overcome. They are often ways your mind and nervous system learned to protect you. Rather than treating those responses as something that is wrong with you, we’ll get curious about what they’re doing, where they come from, and what happens when you begin to relate to them differently.
Our work may include talking and making meaning, but we won’t stop there. Depending on what you need, we may use EMDR, somatic and nervous-system work, attachment-focused therapy, mindfulness, and other mind-body approaches to work with what you experience - not just what you understand. The goal isn’t to never feel anxious, activated, hurt, or overwhelmed again. It’s to have more choice in how you respond, greater capacity to stay connected to yourself, and more freedom from patterns that once protected you but no longer need to run the show.
Specialities
Trauma and PTSD
Trauma can continue to shape the way you feel, relate, and respond long after the experience itself has passed. We’ll work with both the story of what happened and the ways your mind and body learned to survive it.
Anxiety & Chronic Stress
When your nervous system has learned to stay alert, it can be difficult to simply “relax” or think your way out of anxiety. We’ll explore what keeps your system working so hard and help create greater capacity for safety, flexibility, and ease.
Relationships & Attachment
The ways we learned to connect, protect ourselves, caretake, withdraw, or seek reassurance often show up most strongly in our closest relationships. Therapy can help you understand these patterns without judging them - and begin to create different ways of relating to yourself and others.
Life Transitions and Identity
Sometimes nothing is necessarily “wrong,” but the way you’ve been living no longer fits. Therapy can offer space to explore change, loss, relationships, identity, meaning, and the question of what you actually want your life to look like now.
Types of Therapy
EMDR
A trauma-processing approach that can help the brain and body integrate experiences that continue to feel unresolved or present.
Somatic & Nervous System-Informed Therapy
Bringing attention to sensations, impulses, and nervous-system responses so therapy includes what your body is communicating - not only the story your mind can tell.
Parts & Attachment Work
Exploring the protective parts, relational patterns, and adaptations you developed over time with curiosity rather than judgement.
Mindfulness & Mind-Body Practices
Building the capacity to notice thoughts, emotions, and body sensations with greater awareness and less urgency to immediately change or escape them.
Yoga Therapy & Breathwork
When appropriate and of interest to you, elements of therapeutic yoga, movement, breath, and embodied practices can be integrated into our work to support greater connection with your body.
