Heal the Wounds You Carry
Therapy for adults who want to break free from old patterns, develop a more compassionate relationship with themselves, and find a new way forward.
You may be feeling tired of carrying old hurts, overthinking, questioning yourself, or putting your needs aside. Even if you understand where some patterns come from, that doesn’t make them easy to change.
Can you relate?
You’re often the one who adapts, accommodates, or tries to keep the peace in your relationships.
You’ve become highly attuned to other people’s moods, needs, and reactions—but sometimes struggle to know what you need.
You replay conversations, wonder if you said the wrong thing, or worry that someone is upset with you.
You’ve learned to question whether your feelings or needs are reasonable.
You can be hard on yourself and struggle to offer yourself the same compassion you readily give others.
You find yourself falling into familiar relationship patterns, even when you know they aren’t what you want.
You’ve spent years feeling misunderstood, different, or like there was something about you that you needed to change.
You want deeper, more genuine relationships but sometimes find yourself holding back, masking, or losing yourself in them.
You know you want something different, but aren’t quite sure how to get there.
Feel especially sensitive to rejection, criticism, distance, or changes in someone’s tone.
Feel responsible for maintaining harmony in your relationships.
Keep your feelings to yourself until they become overwhelming
Feel disconnected from yourself despite being highly self-aware
Question whether you’re “too sensitive”

How We Work Together
I use EMDR therapy, which is a specialized therapy that helps people move past whatever is blocking them or holding them back from feeling more confident, secure, or connected.
I also integrate parts work, somatic awareness, and mindfulness when supportive. Sessions are personalized according to your needs, and together, we work at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
