Individual Therapy for Trauma & Dissociation
For survivors of trauma, complex trauma, and abuse, everyday life can feel like survival mode. You may feel on edge, shut down, or like different parts of you want completely different things.
In individual therapy, we’ll work together to:
- Understand your nervous system and trauma responses
- Build safety and stabilization before diving into deeper work
- Address dissociation, parts conflicts, and internal chaos
- Heal painful experiences using IFS and EMDR
The goal is not to erase your past, but to loosen its grip on your present.
Addiction & Substance Use Counseling
Substance use, gambling, food, or other compulsive behaviors often develop as ways to cope with pain. I won’t shame you for how you’ve survived. Instead, we’ll explore the role these behaviors have played and help you develop new ways to manage emotions and triggers.
I provide support for:
- Alcohol use & problem drinking
- Drug abuse & substance use
- Gambling
- Dual diagnosis (mental health + addiction)
We’ll focus on safety, harm reduction or abstinence (depending on your goals), relapse prevention, and deeper trauma work when appropriate.
Relationship & Attachment-Focused Therapy
Our earliest relationships shape how we see ourselves and others. If you find yourself repeating painful patterns — conflict, withdrawal, people-pleasing, anger outbursts, or staying in unsafe relationships — therapy can help you understand why and begin to choose differently.
Together, we’ll work on:
- Communication and conflict skills
- Boundaries and self-advocacy
- Healing from domestic abuse and domestic violence
- Rebuilding trust in yourself and others
EMDR & IFS-Informed Trauma Processing
For clients ready to work more directly with traumatic memories, I offer EMDR and IFS-informed processing. We’ll spend time preparing your system — building grounding skills and internal resources — so that when we do memory work, it’s tolerable and contained.
This approach can help with:
- PTSD and complex trauma
- Anxiety and panic
- Self-harming urges
- Suicidal ideation (in a context of safety and support)
- Shame and negative core beliefs (“I’m not enough,” “I’m unlovable,” etc.)
