INDIVIDUAL THERAPY

Heal Old Wounds. Reconnect with Yourself. Build New Patterns of Connection.

You may find yourself stuck in patterns that feel familiar but painful- disconnection, overthinking, emotional shutdown, or the sense that you're too much or not enough.

These patterns often have roots in earlier relationships that shaped how you see yourself and how you relate to others.

I work with individuals who feel disconnected from themselves, from their partners, or from a sense of safety in the world. Together, we explore the emotional wounds and protective strategies that helped you survive, but now keep you from fully thriving.

Therapy isn’t about fixing you, because you’re not broken. It’s about coming home to the parts of you that have always been worthy of care, connection, and belonging.

The patterns that keep us stuck today often began in the moments we felt unsafe, unseen, or alone.
Wounds, whether from childhood, family dynamics, or relationships can shape how we connect, cope, and relate as adults.

In therapy, we explore how these early wounds shape how you love, trust, and connect as an adult.

Together, we’ll heal attachment wounds, build self-trust, and create a deeper sense of safety within yourself and your relationships.

SPECIALTIES

Anxious Attachment

If you feel preoccupied in relationships, easily triggered by distance, or constantly worried about being too much or not enough, you may be navigating an anxious attachment pattern. This often forms when early emotional needs were inconsistently met, leaving you longing for closeness and afraid of abandonment.

In therapy, we’ll explore how these patterns show up in your life and where they began. We’ll work to calm your nervous system, strengthen your self-trust, and help you experience intimacy without fear.

You don’t have to keep proving your worth to feel secure. A more grounded, connected version of you is possible.

Avoidant Attachment

When closeness feels overwhelming or suffocating, you might instinctively pull away, even from people you care about. Avoidant attachment patterns often form when vulnerability didn’t feel safe or when independence became a necessary shield.

In therapy, we’ll make sense of these protective strategies and the early relationships that shaped them. We’ll gently explore the balance between your need for space and your desire for connection, helping you feel more in control and less guarded in emotional relationships.

You don’t have to give up your independence to experience closeness, you just need to feel safe enough to choose it.

Relational Trauma

Being in a relationship that harmed you- emotionally, verbally, physically, or psychologically- can leave deep, lingering wounds. Whether it was a romantic partner, family member, or caregiver, relational trauma can distort your sense of self, safety, and trust.

Therapy provides a space to name what happened without minimizing or justifying it. We’ll work together to process your story, rebuild your boundaries, and begin to repair the relationship you have with yourself.

You are not what happened to you and you don’t have to carry the weight of it alone anymore.

CPTSD & Childhood Trauma

Complex trauma often stems from ongoing emotional neglect, unpredictability, or relational harm in childhood. It can leave you feeling chronically anxious, shut down, ashamed, or like you’re constantly bracing for something to go wrong.

In therapy, we’ll explore these patterns with care and pace, creating a trauma-informed space where your nervous system can finally begin to soften. You’ll learn tools to regulate overwhelming emotions, challenge old survival beliefs, and reconnect with your sense of agency.

You’ve adapted in powerful ways. Now it’s time to heal.

MY APPROACH

Inner Child Work

At the heart of much of our healing journey is the inner child- the younger self who learned to survive by hiding, pleasing, protecting, or shutting down.

In our work together, we will meet these younger parts of you with compassion, patience, and curiosity. We’ll tend to their unmet needs, release old shame, and build a felt sense of safety that carries into your adult relationships and sense of self.

Through Inner Child Work, you can:

  • Build emotional resilience and self-soothing skills

  • Release protective patterns rooted in early survival

  • Cultivate inner safety, connection, and belonging

  • Deepen your capacity for vulnerability, trust, and intimacy

Your inner child’s voice still matters- and through healing, it becomes a source of strength, not pain.

My therapy style is warm, slow, and client-led.

I weave Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) with somatic practices, helping you not only understand your emotions, but truly feel them- safely, fully, and with support.

Healing happens through connection: with yourself, with your emotions, and, over time, with others.
