I specialize in treating depression because it often reflects more than low mood. It can involve disconnection, loss of vitality, and a sense of being stuck/shut down. Many people continue functioning outwardly while feeling internally flat, heavy, or distant from themselves. My work focuses on understanding the deeper patterns beneath depression, helping restore emotional movement, reconnect you with yourself, and support a gradual return to clarity, energy, and a greater sense of possibility.

I specialize in treating PTSD because trauma can shape how you feel, respond, and move through the world long after the original experiences have passed. Many people live with persistent vigilance, emotional constriction, or disconnection without fully understanding why. These responses reflect the nervous system’s effort to protect you. My work focuses on helping clients process trauma safely, release patterns that no longer serve them, and develop a greater sense of stability and safety.

I specialize in treating anxiety because it is both deeply distressing and often misunderstood. Anxiety can shape how you think, feel, relate to others, and move through the world, even when it isn’t obvious from the outside. Many of my clients have lived with anxiety for years, adapting around it without resolving it. My work focuses on helping you understand its roots, shift the patterns that sustain it, and develop a greater sense of steadiness and internal freedom.

I use psychodynamic therapy to help clients understand how past experiences shape present emotions, relationships, and patterns. Many struggles have roots outside conscious awareness, yet continue to influence how you feel and respond. By exploring these deeper layers with curiosity and care, therapy can bring clarity and relief. This process helps loosen long-standing patterns, strengthen self-understanding, and support more intentional, flexible ways of living and relating.

I use parts work to help clients understand the different internal roles that shape thoughts, emotions, and reactions. Many people carry protective parts that developed to manage pain, fear, or overwhelm. These parts are not flawed, but are adaptive responses. Through parts work, clients learn to approach themselves with curiosity and compassion, creating space for healing, reducing internal conflict, and supporting greater emotional balance, clarity, and self-trust.

I use EMDR to help clients process and resolve distressing experiences that continue to affect them in the present. Trauma and overwhelming events can become stored in the nervous system, shaping emotional and physical responses. EMDR helps the brain naturally reprocess these experiences so they no longer carry the same intensity. Clients often experience reduced emotional reactivity, greater clarity, and an increased sense of stability and internal freedom.
