Treatment for Individuals & Couples

Anxiety
Anxiety

Anxiety is your fear manifested in your body. What most people don't realize is that it is often the fear of repressed emotions and losing control. Anxiety occurs when a person desperately tries to control the turmoil inside. We will explore these terrifying thoughts and feelings, where they come from, and how to quiet them. I guide my clients on how to accept their feelings and not fear them. Through this understanding, individuals are able to create a sense of control by building trust within themselves and the world around them.

Depression
Sex-Positivity 

Let’s destigmatize sex, kinks, masturbation, fetishes, poly relationships, and STI’s! Sex and sexuality is one of the rawest and purest forms of self-expression. Shame often keeps us from sharing and discussing one of the most powerful human experiences. I strive to break down these shame barriers to help individuals explore all somatic or sexual experiences in their body.

Relationships
Relationships

With rupture comes repair. Many couples feel the weight of years of pain and damage to their relationship. They are only able to define their partner by the pain that they feel. Through my practice, I help partners reach a sense of honesty with themselves and each other. I uncover repressed emotions to help clients get in touch with their chore issues. Utilizing attachment theory, couples are able to see each other through a different lens and acknowledge each other's needs. My focal point is to make sure that both parties feel heard, seen, and represented in our sessions. Together we heal years of unspoken pain, miscommunication, and repressed emotions. 

Couples Therapy
Depression

Depression is a sign of being overwhelmed. Whether that's being overwhelmed by negative thoughts or feelings, the body is reacting by becoming immobilized. It is safer to feel nothing than to feel anything. I create a safe environment to explore the feelings and thoughts that seem irrefutable but often aren’t. I challenge the maladaptive thought processes that cause so much pain that they lead to inaction. My goal is to slowly help individuals understand that their pain/trauma doesn't define them. That with a new lens, life is safe to experience.

Trauma
Trauma

Trauma is compounding. It builds and builds until you no longer recognize yourself. It is something that is experienced through the body and mind. Unaddressed, trauma will leave you in a state of helplessness feeling at the mercy of the world around you. I utilize somatic exercises to help you release the trauma that is trapped within. I work to lift the veil and remind you of your own sense of power and agency.
