Trauma changes your brain, and also changes the way you feel about yourself, others and the world around you. Often times you lose trust for others and trust for yourself. Trauma therapy is a mix of developing skills to address symptoms (memories, intrusive thoughts, flashbacks, nightmares, anxiety, avoidance), but also deep cognitive processing of your trauma to heal and repair the wounds. Trauma work is long term work, but it will improve your quality of life immensely.

The research shows that we connect with others in our adult relationships based on how we were parented and our connection with our first care givers. Based on how you were parented, you likely have certain patterns that you get stuck in, such as fears of abandonment or not being good enough, or keeping people at arms length and not really letting others in. I can help you to develop a more secure sense of relating to others, by helping you understand the origins of your behavior.

This is a therapy involving eye movement or bilateral stimulation (a way of stimulating both hemispheres of the brain) to re-process trauma.

I approach ADHD from a neurodiversity affirming lens, there is nothing wrong with the way your unique brain works. Rather, it’s about understanding more about the way you think to get the most out of your life.

Autism is highly misunderstood by the field of psychology and there have been many harmful ways autism has been “treated” (ABA, behaviorism). I believe autism does not need to be treated. We can work together to discuss self advocacy, better self understanding, and working towards creating a life that best suites your unique needs.

I am part of the LGBTQ+ community and my wife and I run our practices together (she is also a therapist). I love working with folks questioning sexuality and gender and helping them find their most authentic selves.
