We specialize in trauma, attachment wounds, and the relationship patterns that often develop in response to them.
If certain memories, images, or experiences still feel overwhelming no matter how much time has passed, EMDR may help. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based psychotherapy that helps individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences and distressing memories. Through guided eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation, EMDR helps the brain process distressing memories in a more adaptive way, often reducing their emotional intensity. Supported by extensive research and recommended in multiple clinical guidelines for PTSD, EMDR is also used in the treatment of anxiety, depression, and other trauma-related difficulties.
If you have ever felt pulled in different directions inside yourself, like part of you wants to connect while another part pushes people away, IFS works directly with those internal conflicts. Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy is a therapeutic approach supported by a growing body of research that helps individuals understand and work compassionately with their internal parts. Each part is viewed as having its own perspective, emotions, and protective role. By fostering self-compassion, self-leadership, and internal balance, IFS supports deeper self-awareness and lasting emotional healing while helping individuals relate differently to their inner experiences.
If your body feels stuck in stress, shutdown, or hypervigilance even when you are safe, polyvagal-informed therapy helps you understand why and how to shift it. This approach is informed by Polyvagal Theory and focuses on the role of the autonomic nervous system in emotional regulation, social connection, and trauma response. By understanding and working with the body's natural responses to stress, this approach helps individuals develop greater safety and resilience through interventions that support nervous system regulation, emotional flexibility, and social engagement.
If your earliest relationships led you to experience closeness as unsafe, unpredictable, or conditional, attachment-focused therapy helps you build new patterns from the ground up. This approach draws on attachment theory to explore how early relationships with caregivers shaped the ways you experience connection, trust, and emotional safety in adulthood. Within a secure and consistent therapeutic relationship, this approach supports more secure ways of relating to yourself and others while helping ease attachment wounds, relationship difficulties, and fears of rejection or abandonment.
EMDR is not always where we begin. When attachment wounds affect your sense of safety, we focus first on building internal and relational resources. EMDR is integrated later, when it is clinically appropriate.
Before anything else, we take the time to understand your history, your goals, and what you need to feel safe. From there, we build a plan together.
