You know your patterns by now. The way you disappear into caretaking others. How you say yes when you mean no. The defensiveness that shows up even when you don’t want it to.
You might understand why, but understanding hasn’t been enough to change it.
Through experiential, neuroscience-informed therapy, we’ll work with what’s happening beneath your awareness—the unconscious patterns shaped by early relationships, trauma, and past experiences. Using approaches like the STAIR Method, EMDR, Accelerated Resolution Therapy, and parts work, we’ll rewire these patterns at the root so you can actually respond differently.
Individual therapy can help you:
The same argument keeps happening. Or maybe it’s not arguments—maybe it’s distance, silence, resentment, or the feeling that you’re more like roommates than partners.
You both want things to be different, but the pattern keeps repeating.
Couples therapy offers a space to work with what’s happening beneath the surface—the unconscious patterns, old wounds, and nervous system responses that keep you stuck. With experiential, neuroscience-informed approaches, we’ll help you break old cycles, communicate more effectively, and rebuild emotional safety and connection.

Set Up Recurring Sessions
Learn, Change, Grow, Heal
For therapy, I generally recommend that people start with weekly sessions if possible. If scheduling or finances does not allow for weekly sessions, we can meet every other week. I do not recommend less frequent sessions when beginning counseling as so much life happens in three to four weeks and I find that it can be hard to focus or make progress when sessions are spread too far apart. Intensives are scheduled across 4-6 weeks in blocks of 2-3 hour increments.
Yes, I am committed to creating a welcoming, respectful, and affirming space for individuals of all backgrounds and identities. This includes people of all races, ethnicities, gender identities, sexual orientations, body sizes, abilities, and spiritual or religious beliefs. My hope is to create a space where your identity and lived experience are respected and affirmed.
Intensives are formatted to work with focus and intentionality around a particular goal. While much of therapy is about building connection and having a safe place to check in, work on skills, work through trauma, and work on various goals or issues across time, the intensive invites you to choose one or maybe two specific things to work on in a shorter but more intense way. Therapy is generally scheduled weekly for 55 minutes (you can also choose to schedule longer sessions) across time while an intensive is scheduled in 2-3 hour time blocks across 4-6 weeks for a total of 20 hours. Depending on the time sensitivity or severity of your issue or goal, your finances, your needs, and your time availability, one may work better than the other for you. If you need help discerning which to choose, feel free to schedule a free phone consultation with me.
