Additional Areas of Focus
In addition to the primary concerns outlined above, I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating complex emotional, relational, and professional challenges. Many of the clients I serve are high-functioning adults who appear composed and capable externally, yet privately experience persistent stress, anxiety, emotional fatigue, or a quiet sense of disconnection. I also offer specialized support in the following areas:
Professionals & Executives Stress & Burnout therapy
This practice has extensive experience working with the particular pressures of high-level professional life: the emotional cost of sustained visibility and responsibility, the isolation that often accompanies leadership, the identity questions that emerge when a career that has defined a person begins to feel insufficient or unsustainable. Treatment addresses both the presenting symptoms — anxiety, panic, exhaustion, emotional numbness — and the deeper patterns driving them, including the beliefs about worth, safety, and performance that make genuine rest feel impossible. EMDR and somatic approaches reach the nervous system patterns that insight and willpower alone cannot resolve.
Family Therapy with Adult Children
This practice offers family therapy for adult family members navigating these complexities — with or without all parties present. Sessions may focus on boundary repair, rebuilding trust after estrangement, processing intergenerational trauma, supporting a family system through caregiving stress or a member's health crisis, or simply creating enough safety for honest communication to become possible. The work is relational, trauma-informed, and attentive to the ways that earlier family dynamics continue to shape present-day interactions across generations.
Hypochondria & Health Anxiety
Health anxiety — sometimes called illness anxiety or hypochondria — is not simply excessive worry about being sick. It is a nervous system that has learned to scan constantly for threat, often rooted in earlier experiences of illness, loss, medical trauma, or environments where physical symptoms were the primary way danger or care were communicated. Cognitive approaches alone rarely touch it because the anxiety is not primarily a thinking problem. Treatment here combines EMDR to address the experiential roots of health-focused fear, somatic approaches to support nervous system regulation, and psychodynamic exploration of what the body has come to represent. The goal is not reassurance — it is genuine resolution of the underlying pattern driving the vigilance.
Aging and Midlife concerns
The later stages of life bring their own terrain — one that our culture is poorly equipped to navigate and that therapy has historically underserved. Shifting identity, changing bodies, evolving family roles, the loss of people and capacities that once felt permanent, and the existential questions that surface when the future becomes more finite than it once seemed, these are not small concerns. This practice works with adults navigating the psychological and emotional dimensions of aging and midlife transition: grief for what has been lost or will not happen, the renegotiation of identity when career, parenting, or physical capacity changes, the particular anxiety of watching parents age or decline, and the existential reckoning that this stage of life often demands. The work is integrative and depth-oriented, drawing on psychodynamic exploration, EMDR for grief and loss, and somatic approaches that honor the body's role in how aging is experienced and held.
Complex personality patterns
This practice approaches complex personality patterns, such as Borderline Personality traits, with clinical depth and genuine respect for how these structures formed and what they have protected. Treatment is not about changing who a person fundamentally is — it is about loosening the grip of patterns that are no longer serving them, increasing flexibility in how they respond to stress and relationships, and building a more stable and compassionate relationship with themselves. EMDR addresses the formative experiences that organized these patterns at their root. IFS-informed work engages the internal parts that maintain them with curiosity rather than confrontation. Progress is measured not in symptom checklists but in the quality of a person's inner life and relationships over time.
Therapy for Medical & Healthcare Professionals
Providing discreet, trauma-informed psychotherapy for physicians, nurses, therapists, and medical providers navigating burnout, moral injury, compassion fatigue, high-stakes decision-making, and the emotional toll of caring for others. This work supports nervous system regulation, sustainable performance, and reconnection to purpose without sacrificing well-being. This practice offers discreet, trauma-informed psychotherapy specifically attuned to the realities of healthcare work: the weight of high-stakes decision-making, the grief of patient loss, the emotional toll of holding others' pain across long careers, and the identity questions that emerge when medicine stops feeling like a calling and starts feeling like a burden. Treatment supports nervous system regulation, sustainable performance, and reconnection to purpose — without requiring the clinician to pretend they are not also a person who is affected by what they witness and carry.
Midlife Women Navigating Transitions & Mental Health Concerns
High-achieving women at midlife frequently find themselves at an intersection that no single framework adequately addresses: the convergence of hormonal transition, evolving professional identity, shifting relationship dynamics, and a growing sense that the life built so carefully may need fundamental renegotiation. Perimenopause and menopause introduce physiological changes that profoundly affect mood, cognition, sleep, and emotional regulation — changes that often surface older unresolved material precisely when external demands remain highest. This practice specializes in working with high-achieving women who are navigating this convergence without reducing it to any single dimension. Treatment is hormone-informed and integrative, addressing the psychological, relational, and physiological dimensions of midlife transition as the interconnected system they actually are. EMDR addresses the earlier experiences that hormonal shifts are surfacing
Adults seeking accelerated Therapy & EMDR Intensives
EMDR intensives at this practice are extended, focused sessions designed to accomplish within a condensed timeframe what standard weekly therapy might take months to reach. Rather than the rhythm of a fifty-minute hour interrupted by a week of ordinary life, intensive sessions allow for deeper immersion in the processing work — more sustained bilateral stimulation, more complete movement through the EMDR protocol phases, and more thorough integration before the session ends. They are not a shortcut. They are a different format, suited to particular goals and particular moments in a person's therapeutic journey. An initial consultation determines whether an intensive format is clinically appropriate and what structure would best serve the work.
ADHD & Autism
ADHD and autism in adults — particularly in high-functioning individuals — are frequently undiagnosed, misdiagnosed, or identified only after decades of quietly wondering why certain things feel harder than they should. The shame and self-blame that accumulate in the absence of an accurate framework can be as damaging as the underlying neurodivergence itself. This practice offers a strengths-based, trauma-informed approach that honors neurological differences while addressing the emotional, relational, and self-concept challenges that often accompany them.
Medical Trauma
Medical trauma is one of the most overlooked forms of trauma in clinical practice and can be addressed with EMDR. Serious illness, invasive procedures, unexpected diagnoses, prolonged hospitalization, and experiences of being dismissed or harmed within the medical system can all produce lasting psychological effects — including hypervigilance, avoidance of medical care, intrusive memories, and a pervasive sense of the body as unsafe or untrustworthy. For individuals navigating chronic or complex illness, medical trauma is often layered beneath the ongoing stress of managing a condition that does not resolve.
