Trauma, Grief, and Relationship Therapy for Adults and Couples
Trauma does not stay in the past.
Developmental and family trauma, betrayal, and significant loss shape how you see yourself, how safe you feel with other people, and how you respond when relationships get challenging.
Anxiety, self-doubt, disconnection, dissociation, defensiveness, and recurring harmful relationship patterns usually have deeper roots. I help adults and couples change the patterns shaped by earlier experiences, especially when insight alone has not been enough.
Powerful experiential approaches including EMDR, IFS, and IFIO guide our work so the past has less power over the present.

How the past keeps showing up in the present
As a Level 3 IFS Certified Therapist, EMDRIA Certified EMDR Therapist, and EMDRIA Approved Consultant, I provide specialized trauma therapy for adults and couples navigating:
anxiety, overthinking, shame, panic, or persistent self-doubt
perfectionism, people-pleasing, over-responsibility, or difficulty trusting their own judgment
childhood trauma, relational trauma, attachment wounds, or unresolved painful experiences
conflict, withdrawal, mistrust, fear of abandonment, or disconnection in important relationships
emotional overwhelm, shutdown, numbness, or dissociation
Our work together will be active, experiential, and paced with respect for the nervous system. EMDR, IFS, and trauma sensitive IFIO relationship therapy help shift the emotional and body-based responses that insight alone has not changed.

As the popularity of IFS surges, IFS and EMDR integration is coming up more and more frequently during clinical consultation calls. Both of these modalities are powerful and complex tools for treating trauma and related issues, and bringing them together can result in a smoother, more attuned and effective healing experience.
Here are a few key concepts and a practice to help you begin to integrate these modalities to foster wellbeing and resiliency, for yourself and your clients.
