Introduction

I help adults and couples heal the kind of pain that doesn’t “logic” its way out—trauma, betrayal, and behavioral addiction patterns that leave you feeling stuck, flooded, shut down, or quietly exhausted. I got into this work because I’ve seen how often people are mislabeled as “too much,” “not trying hard enough,” or “just anxious,” when what’s actually happening is a nervous system doing its best to survive. In therapy, we slow the chaos down, name what’s really going on, and build a path that feels steady and doable—not performative. My specialties include trauma recovery, porn/sex addiction and compulsive behaviors, partner betrayal trauma, and couples recovery after secrecy or infidelity. I’m trauma-informed and attachment-based, and I integrate evidence-based approaches like EMDR and Gottman-informed couples work, along with somatic tools, breathwork, and hypnotherapy-informed techniques when helpful—so we’re not just talking about change, we’re practicing it in your body and nervous system. Clients often come to me feeling ashamed, confused, hypervigilant, emotionally disconnected, or scared they’ll never feel “normal” again. Our work focuses on restoring safety, building emotional regulation, strengthening accountability without punishment, and helping you reconnect to yourself and to the people you love—with clarity, structure, and compassion. If you’re ready for therapy that’s warm, direct, and deeply respectful of your pace, I’d be honored to support you.
