Imagine freedom from isolation, stronger relationships, renewed hobbies, authentic living, and inner peace. Through evidence-based individual therapy and trauma counseling, we can uncover core issues, heal wounds, and create lasting change — whether facing trauma, addiction, or everyday overwhelm.

1. It starts with a conversation. A free 20-minute phone call, no intake paperwork. You tell me what's going on, I tell you honestly whether I think I can help. If I'm not the right fit, I'll say so and point you toward someone who is.

2. The first few sessions are about groundwork. We'll go through your history, what you've already tried, and what you actually want out of this. Before touching anything difficult, we build enough stability that the harder work is tolerable rather than flooding.

3. Then we go at your pace. For trauma, that often means EMDR-informed and somatic approaches — working with how the past lives in your nervous system, not just talking about it. For substance use, it might mean harm reduction rather than abstinence, at least to start. There's no fixed script and no required destination.

4. We'll check whether it's working. Most clients meet weekly to begin with. Some notice a shift within a couple of months; for others it takes longer, and that's normal. Either way, I'll raise it regularly — if the work isn't going somewhere useful, I'd rather adjust than keep going out of habit.
