Our Treatment Specialties
Healing from Trauma
When past pain keeps resurfacing, therapy offers a path forward. If you're carrying emotional weight, feeling overwhelmed, or stuck in old patterns, you're not alone. Through EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and trauma-focused therapy, we help you safely process difficult experiences so you can move forward.
Overcoming Anxiety
Your mind races. Your chest tightens. Anxiety can make every day feel overwhelming. Therapy helps you regain peace by identifying triggers, shifting anxious thoughts, and building strategies for lasting relief.
Depression Recovery
Some days, getting out of bed feels impossible. Depression isn’t just sadness—it’s overwhelming and isolating. Therapy provides tools to lift the fog, restore joy, and help you take small steps toward feeling like yourself again.
Breaking Free from People-Pleasing
Saying yes when you want to say no? Putting others first until there’s nothing left for you? Therapy helps you reclaim your voice, set boundaries, and prioritize your needs—without guilt.
Rebuilding Self-Worth
If self-doubt holds you back, therapy helps you replace it with confidence. Together, we challenge limiting beliefs, rewrite negative self-talk, and build the self-trust you deserve.
Let Go of Perfectionism
Always striving, never satisfied? If mistakes feel unacceptable and rest feels unearned, perfectionism may be holding you back. Therapy helps reframe self-worth, break cycles of self-criticism, and encourage self-compassion.
Create Healthy Relationships
Whether it’s love, friendship, or family your relationships shouldn’t feel exhausting. If connections leave you drained, therapy helps you set boundaries, strengthen self-worth, and create balanced connections without codependency.
Healing from Childhood Emotional Neglect
If you grew up feeling unseen or unheard, it affects how you connect with yourself and others today. Therapy helps rebuild emotional resilience, self-compassion, and the ability to form meaningful connections.
Support for PTSD
PTSD can make everyday life feel like a minefield—marked by fear, hypervigilance, or emotional numbness. But healing is possible. Our approach combines EMDR, IFS, and evidence-based trauma therapy to help you reprocess painful memories, reduce triggers, and reclaim your sense of safety and self.
