More Than Talk Therapy—A Path to Lasting Change
Therapy for Trauma, Anxiety, Attachment & Relationships
Searching for clarity, not surface-level
solutions
Many of my clients come into therapy feeling lost and overwhelmed with anxious thoughts of worry, fear and self criticism with nowhere to go. Deep feelings they don’t know how to talk about. Desires. Insecurities. Regrets. Shame. Pain. Wants. Needs.
I get it. We can only hold it all together for so long until something in us breaks - and we finally ask for help.
As a therapist, I am active and engaging. I am not going to sit quietly nodding while you vent, update or complain. I will share my thoughts, insights, reflections and sometimes, my own experience when appropriate.
My goal is to help you find meaningful ways to reclaim agency and confidence, find actionable steps to improve your day to day and quality solutions to the problems you’re facing - whether they’re existential, emotional or practical. Therapy is a journey of self discovery that we embark on together.
Transformation begins with deep connection.
Healing allows you to soften fear, deepen self-trust, and live with greater clarity and purpose.

Areas of Focus…
-
Trauma isn’t just about what happened, like a lingering fear and tension that remain. You might feel on edge, disconnected, or stuck in repeating patterns. Therapy offers a safe space to process your experiences, regulate your body, and begin to rebuild trust in yourself and others.
-
Anxiety often shows up as overthinking, worry, and racing thoughts about the future or what others think. It can also be deeply physical, like a tight chest, knots in your stomach, restless energy that won’t settle. Over time, constant vigilance can feel normal, even though your body and mind rarely feel safe. Therapy can help you find calm, understand your patterns, and feel grounded again.
-
Attachment wounds form when early experiences of safety or connection were inconsistent. As adults, this can lead to anxiety in relationships or fear of closeness. Healing these wounds means learning to feel secure, connected, and worthy of love that starts with the safety of the therapeutic relationship.
-
Shame is the quiet voice that says, “something is wrong with me.” It hides beneath perfectionism, self-criticism, and people-pleasing. In therapy, we work to understand where shame began and replace it with self-compassion and acceptance.

Majority of my clients are in 12-Step groups. AA, Al-Anon, CODA, etc. I’ve been apart of 12-Step groups personally and professionally for a decade.
-
Negative Self-Talk is often called an ‘inner critic’ in therapy. Your inner critic developed to keep you safe from failure or rejection, but now it keeps you small. Therapy helps you understand this voice, soften its control, and build a more compassionate inner dialogue that supports growth and confidence.
