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

I work with individual adults navigating three related but distinct struggles: repeating relational patterns rooted in family-of-origin trauma, addiction or coping patterns that have become unsustainable to manage alone, and the attachment wounds that often connect the two. Each specialty below uses a different lens — but the goal is the same: understanding what you’re carrying, and why, so you can actually change it.

The patterns you keep running into now usually aren’t about what’s happening today — they’re about what you learned early, and never unlearned. Attachment-based therapy helps you understand where those patterns came from, so you can finally change them.

You’ve kept it together on the outside — work, relationships, responsibilities — while alcohol or another coping pattern quietly became something you can’t sustain. This is trauma-focused treatment for the pattern underneath, not just the behavior on the surface.

Freedom at sunset

Trauma isn’t just a memory — it’s a memory that got stuck, stored in the body in a way that keeps it feeling present long after it’s over. EMDR helps your brain finally finish processing it, so it loses its grip on your life today.
