Support for Stress, Trauma, and the Patterns You’re Ready to Change

Individual therapy offers a space to understand your reactions, reconnect with yourself, and gently shift patterns that feel automatic or overwhelming.

Whether you’re navigating anxiety, stress, emotional reactivity, or moments you wish you’d handled differently, we explore how these experiences show up in your day-to-day life and relationships. For many clients, this includes the impact of early relational trauma, the exhaustion of postpartum transition, or the pressure and guilt that can surface in parenting.

Together, we make sense of the triggers, attachment wounds, and stored survival responses that still shape how you move through the world

you might be juggling:

  • Feeling on edge, stressed, or emotionally flooded

  • Navigating burnout, work stress, or role strain

  • Moments you regret and wish you could “take back”

  • Shutting down, dissociating, or feeling disconnected

  • Anxiety that feels bigger than the situation

  • Shame about old patterns that keep resurfacing

  • Feeling like you “should be able to handle it”

  • Grief, loss, or unresolved trauma

  • A sense that you’ve done the work cognitively, but your body still reacts

  • Feeling overwhelmed by the constant demands of caregiving

  • Struggling with identity shifts after becoming a parent

  • Grief around birth experiences or unmet expectations

You are doing the best you can. And things can get better.

Everything we do supports your nervous system in finding safety, stability, and connection again.

Parent Support Therapy to help You Become a More Grounded, Connected Parent

Individual therapy offers a place to understand your reactions, reconnect with yourself, and gently shift patterns that feel automatic or overwhelming.

Together, we explore the anxiety, stress, or emotional reactivity that shows up in your day-to-day life; the attachment wounds or early relational trauma that continue to shape your relationships; and the grief, birth trauma, postpartum challenges, or major transitions that still live in your nervous system.

Using Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR) and other evidence-based approaches, we work directly with the parts of your brain and nervous system where stress, overwhelm, and old emotional patterns are held. This allows change to occur at the level of your physiological responses so you can experience more stability, ease, and emotional freedom in your daily life.

My Trauma-Informed Approaches

I use several evidence-based modalities to help clients heal emotionally, neurologically, and somatically.
Browse the toolkit to learn how these methods support lasting change.

My Therapist Toolkit
Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR)
Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR)

DBR is a gentle, neuroscience-informed trauma therapy that works with the brainstem-level shock and attachment wounds that shape emotional and physiological reactions. It allows healing to happen at the level where trauma is stored, without needing to retell or relive the experience.

EMDR & Parts-Informed Therapy
EMDR & Parts-Informed Therapy

EMDR is an evidence-based trauma therapy that helps the brain reprocess distressing experiences that remain stuck in the nervous system. Through guided bilateral stimulation, EMDR supports the integration of traumatic memories so they lose their emotional intensity and no longer drive present-day reactions.

Grief & IADC Therapy
Grief & IADC Therapy

Induced After Death Communication (IADC) is a specialized grief therapy that supports emotional processing and relief from traumatic grief. It can help clients reconnect with calm, meaning, and inner steadiness after loss.

Emotion-Focused Therapy
Emotion-Focused Therapy

These methods help clients explore their emotional experiences with compassion, identify conflicting internal parts, and understand the underlying needs driving their reactions. They support emotional clarity, self-awareness, and compassionate inner connection.

Trauma-Informed, Nervous-System-Based Therapy
Trauma-Informed, Nervous-System-Based Therapy

This approach focuses on recognizing dysregulation, understanding stress responses, and helping the nervous system return to safety and balance. It helps clients understand why certain reactions feel automatic and how to create steadier, more regulated patterns.

Attachment-Focused Therapy
Attachment-Focused Therapy

This approach explores how early relational experiences shape emotional patterns, triggers, and relationship dynamics. By understanding your attachment needs and histories, therapy supports secure, grounded connection with yourself and others.
