A form of focused mindfulness that is both body and mind centered. David Grand, who discovered this technique was trained in both EMDR and Somatic experiencing and accidentally stumbled upon it while utilizing EMDR with a client who had a trauma that wasn't resolving with EMDR.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an extensively researched form of therapy that has has demonstrated effectiveness in helping people heal from trauma or other distressing life experiences. EMDR utilizes dual attention awareness, where the client brings their awareness to the traumatic event while tapping, or moving their eyes at the same time. The process involves gathering history about the traumatic event, then providing tools to the client to help them work through the trauma before starting.
Like members of a family, a person has an entire family of inner parts that can take on extreme roles or subpersonalities. Every part has a positive intent, even if its actions are counterproductive and/or cause dysfunction. Internal Family Systeems therapy aims to heal wounded parts and restore mental balance. The first step is to access the core Self and then, from there, understand the different parts in order to heal them.
If you’re struggling to feel whole, move on, or find happiness, you're not alone. Negative self-talk, limiting beliefs, and old behavior patterns can hold you back—whether from childhood trauma, past experiences, or unhealed wounds, these emotional blocks may feel impossible to shift on your own.
Traditional talk therapy and self-care strategies can help, but if they haven’t brought lasting change, it may be time to explore deeper, more transformative healing.
Many adult survivors grew up with emotional neglect—homes where feelings were ignored, minimized, or met with silence. Maybe your parents worked constantly, struggled with their own trauma, or simply didn’t know how to connect. Maybe they were kind, but distant. Present, but unavailable. When no one mirrors your emotions or makes space for your inner world, you learn to shut it down. And that’s a form of trauma too.
For clients who want to explore the deeper patterns behind their relationships, boundaries, emotional burnout, and people-pleasing tendencies, I offer a self-discovery session using the MBTI® (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) as a supplemental tool.
Co-dependency is a relational pattern where your sense of worth becomes tied to being needed, helpful, or emotionally indispensable to others. It often starts in childhood, especially if you had an emotionally unavailable, abusive, or inconsistent caregiver. ou may have learned early on that love and safety came from caretaking, anticipating others’ needs, or being the emotional adult in the room.
Therapy works best when you don’t have to wonder whether you’ll be accepted for who you are. Yet many LGBTQIA+ clients describe past experiences where they felt only partially understood. My commitment is simple: to create a space where your identity is respected, honored, and welcomed. In our work together, you don’t have to shrink or explain away who you are. You get to bring your whole self into the room.
You’ve always been the strong one. The one who holds it all together. The one people come to for help. The one who shows up, keeps the peace, and gets things done—even when you're falling apart inside. But lately, something’s shifted. You feel depleted. Overwhelmed. Lonely, even when you're surrounded by people. Maybe you're wondering, Who am I outside of what I do for everyone else?
Caring for someone you love can be one of the most meaningful roles you’ll ever hold. But when you’re the one everyone depends on, it can also be exhausting, isolating, and overwhelming. Whether you’re parenting a child with special needs, caring for a chronically ill partner, or supporting an aging parent, the weight can feel relentless — and invisible to those around you.
