You Keep Ending Up in the Same Patterns.

Let’s Find Out Why.

Maybe it’s a relationship that feels stuck, disconnected, or repetitive in painful ways. Maybe it’s a family history that still runs the show, even from a distance. Maybe it’s the thing you do to cope when everything else feels like too much.
 
Whatever brought you here, the work starts with you — not a diagnosis, not a label, just a clearer look at the patterns you didn’t choose but learned to survive.
 
I work with individual adults, using EMDR, attachment-focused therapy, and a somatic approach developed over 20+ years of clinical practice.

If You’re Here Because of Your Relationship…

You’re not alone — many people come to me feeling stuck, unheard, or exhausted in a partnership that used to feel different. But here’s what I’ve learned after two decades of this work: the most powerful place to start usually isn’t joint sessions. It’s a closer look at *your* patterns — what you bring into every relationship, where those patterns came from, and why they keep showing up no matter who you’re with.
 
This isn’t couples therapy. It’s deeper than that. When you understand your own wiring — the things you learned to do to stay safe, loved, or in control — your relationships change, even if only one person in them is doing the work.

Find Where You Fit

  • Untangling Family Patterns: For adults still making sense of a childhood shaped by control, criticism, or unpredictability — and how it shows up now in anxiety, people-pleasing, or trouble trusting your own perceptions.
  • Managing the Weight of High-Functioning Coping: For professionals who've learned to keep everything looking fine on the outside — even while alcohol, work, or other coping patterns have quietly become unsustainable.
  • Breaking Repeating Relationship Patterns: For anyone who keeps encountering the same relational dynamic in different people — and is ready to understand the "why" instead of just the "what happened this time."
  • (Not sure which one fits? That's okay — most people are some combination. Consultations are a good place to figure out where to start.)

This Work Is Slow, Real, and Yours

I don’t offer quick fixes or generic advice. I offer a serious, individualized process — one that respects how complicated your history actually is, and how long it’s taken to get this far.

My Specialities

If your relationships keep hitting the same wall, the wall usually isn’t the relationship. It’s something older. Something your nervous system learned to do a long time ago to survive, and never unlearned.

Freedom at sunset

EMDR — Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing — is one of the most well-researched trauma therapies available. It works because trauma isn’t just a memory. It’s a memory that got stuck — stored in the brain and body in a way that keeps it feeling present, even when it’s long past.

Most of the patterns people bring to therapy aren’t really about what’s happening now. They’re about what happened early. Attachment theory gives us a framework for understanding those early lessons and the lasting ways they shape how we relate to ourselves and others.
