What we can work on, together.
You don't need a diagnosis to start. These are common places we begin.
Recovery that holds the whole person.
Addiction isn't a failure of willpower. It's often the nervous system doing the best it can with the tools it has.
Whether you're newly sober, sober-curious, or caught in a cycle of relapse, we'll look at what the substance was doing for you — not just the damage it caused. Real recovery is built on understanding, not shame.
What we might work on
- Cravings, triggers, and high-risk situations
- The underlying pain the substance was soothing
- Repairing relationships and trust
- Building a life worth staying sober for
Calm the spiral.
Anxiety isn't a character flaw. It's an over-achieving alarm system that's forgotten how to stand down.
We'll work with your body and your thoughts together — because anxiety lives in both. Expect nervous system skills, gentle cognitive work, and a lot of curiosity about what your anxiety is trying to protect you from.
Common signs we can work with
- Racing thoughts, overthinking, rumination
- Panic attacks and health anxiety
- Social anxiety and performance fear
- Insomnia and physical tension
Return to yourself.
Depression often shows up not as sadness, but as flatness — the feeling that the volume has been turned down on your own life.
We'll go slowly. We'll look at what's been lost, what's been layered on, and what small things might start bringing color back. No bootstrapping, no toxic positivity.
What we might explore
- Loss of interest, motivation, meaning
- Self-criticism and the inner critic
- Grief and unresolved loss
- Rebuilding routines that actually feel good
Connection, and its complications.
We are shaped by the relationships we've had — and we heal in the ones we choose.
Whether you're coming in individually or with a partner, we'll look at the patterns you repeat, the attachment styles at play, and the small repairs that build safety over time.
Common themes
- Recurring conflict and emotional distance
- Family-of-origin patterns showing up now
- Boundaries, people-pleasing, resentment
- Dating, attachment, and modern love
The body keeps the score — but it can let go.
Trauma is not the event. It's what got stuck in the nervous system when the event was too much, too fast, or too alone.
I use EMDR alongside traditional talk therapy, at a pace you set. We'll never push past what feels tolerable. The goal isn't to forget — it's to remember without being hijacked.
What I work with
- Single-incident trauma (accidents, assault, medical)
- Complex / developmental trauma
- Survivors of abuse and neglect
- First responders and helpers
