Trauma and Relationship Therapy for More Choice, Connection, and Growth
The past does not stay in the past.
Developmental and family trauma, betrayal, loss, and difficult relationships leave lasting effects on trust, self-worth, and connection, while limiting our choices when life feels uncertain or relationships get hard. For some people, those connections to the past are clear. For others, there may be no experience they would describe as trauma, just patterns or struggles that have become difficult to live with.
Anxiety, self-doubt, disconnection, dissociation, defensiveness, perfectionism, and recurring relationship patterns all have deeper roots. I can help you understand what is driving these patterns and change them.
Experiential approaches including EMDR, IFS, and IFIO allow us to work with both the impact of earlier experiences and the patterns showing up in your life now, so you are free to respond to situations in ways that line up with your values.

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 online 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.
