“The cure for the pain is in the pain.”- Rumi
My Approach
Knowing what's wrong is only the beginning. Understanding why it keeps happening — that's where the real work starts.
Individual Therapy
You've probably already tried to think your way out of it. Made lists, set intentions, talked yourself into and out of the same cycles. And it keeps coming back.
That's because the patterns driving your anxiety, your identity struggles, and your exhaustion aren't just thoughts — they're stored in your nervous system, shaped by everything that happened before you had words for it.
Here's how we work:
We stabilize first. Before we go anywhere difficult, we build your capacity to be there — practical regulation tools, grounding skills, and a felt sense of safety in your own body
We map the story. Where did these patterns come from? What were they protecting you from? We trace the roots without getting lost in them
We build something new. Boundaries that hold, self-compassion that isn't performative, behavioral shifts that are small enough to actually stick
Sessions are collaborative and paced to you. We set real goals, track visible progress, and adjust as we go.
Couples & Family
You already know what you argue about, so let’s work through what's actually happening underneath. Most conflict isn't about what it's about. It's about unmet needs, old wounds, and two people who learned to protect themselves in incompatible ways. The work here is learning to recognize that pattern in real time — not just in session, but when it matters most.
What we actually do together:
Decode the cycle. Every recurring argument has a structure. We find yours and interrupt it
Build a shared language. Not therapy-speak — a way of communicating that works for both of you in real life
Repair what's been damaged. Whether it's trust after betrayal, distance after a major transition, or years of small disconnections — repair is possible and it's specific
Strengthen the foundation. So that when hard things happen — and they will — you face them together instead of against each other
Corporate & High-Achievers
Most high achievers have already optimized everything they can optimize. Sleep, diet, productivity systems, therapy even. And the restlessness is still there.
That's because the issue isn't performance — it's identity. The gap between who you've built yourself to appear to be and who you actually are is exhausting to maintain.
The work here is specific:
Assessment first. We map your actual thinking and behavioral patterns — not the ones you think you have, the ones showing up in your decisions
Trace the invisible drivers. Perfectionism, approval-seeking, imposter scripts — we name them precisely so they lose their grip
Rebuild from the inside out. What do you actually want? What would you choose if fear and habit weren't in the room? We get concrete about this
Transfer to real life. Every session ends with something specific you can use — in the next meeting, the next hard conversation, the next moment you feel yourself contorting
This isn't about becoming a different person. It's about making decisions that finally feel like yours.
About EMDR
EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It's a therapy approach built on a simple idea: sometimes painful memories don't get fully processed by the brain. They get stuck — and when they do, they can show up later as anxiety, flashbacks, a tight chest, or a body that just knows something is wrong before your mind does.
EMDR helps the brain finish what it started. Using guided eye movements or other rhythmic, bilateral stimulation, we help you revisit difficult memories in a safe, structured way — without having to relive every detail out loud. Over time, those memories lose their charge. They become something you remember, not something that runs you. EMDR tends to be especially effective for:
Post-traumatic stress (PTSD) and single-incident trauma
Anxiety and panic that feels rooted in the body
Childhood trauma and complex/relational trauma
Grief that feels stuck or unprocessed
Phobias tied to a specific memory or event
Depression connected to past painful experiences
