TRAUMA-INFORMED THERAPY FOR INDIVIDUALS AND COMMITTED COUPLES Welcome. I specialize in trauma-informed therapy for individuals and committed couples. Do you find yourself repeating familiar patterns that disrupt closeness — either within yourself or in your relationship? You may understand your challenges, yet still feel emotionally reactive or disconnected. Often, unresolved trauma continues to shape how we respond and relate, even when we deeply want change. With 35 years of clinical experience and certification in EMDR, I focus primarily on trauma-focused therapy that supports meaningful, lasting transformation. My work helps clients understand how past experiences shape present reactions — and how to shift longstanding emotional patterns in sustainable ways. Many therapists have sought out my services for their own personal work. INDIVIDUAL TRAUMA THERAPY For individuals, I provide EMDR-based trauma therapy integrated with in-depth exploration of emotional patterns that keep you stuck. Together, we work to build resilience, increase emotional clarity, and reduce reactivity so that you can experience greater steadiness, freedom, and choice in your relationships and your life. This work may be helpful if you: Feel emotionally reactive despite insight Struggle with attachment patterns in relationships Notice your body responding before your mind can intervene Want change that goes beyond coping strategies COUPLES THERAPY I work with motivated couples who recognize that unresolved emotional patterns are affecting their relationship. This growth-oriented work requires honesty, personal responsibility, and a willingness to examine each partner’s contribution to relational dynamics. Couples therapy with me is not crisis mediation or short-term communication coaching. It is intentional, structured work for committed partners seeking deeper emotional and sexual intimacy. Couples therapy is offered on a private-pay basis to preserve the focus on the relationship as the client. I am in-network with listed insurance companies for individual therapy. FEES FOR COUPLES THERAPY 90-minute initial intake: $250 60-minute session: $175 Limited reduced-fee appointments are available based on financial need.
