Specialties

There is no “one size fits all” approach. My belief is what works for you is what we do. While I am certified in all the greatest hits, a few of my specialities may be just what you are looking for and if it doesn’t speak to you - we recalibrate.

We start there…

  • IFS is a gentle, effective approach based on the idea that we all have different parts within us that show up at various times -we have our anxious part, our people pleasing part, our angry part, the driven part, the protector part. These parts - even the ones we may want to change up aren’t flawed. They are brilliant survival strategies that got us here - but maybe need to stand down for a while. IFS helps us understand them, heal the wounds that brought them here and learn some new ways to safely navigate our relationships, our past and ourselves.

    This approach works perfectly for individuals and couples wanting deeper connection, healing and understanding.

  • A.R.T. is a profound, non-invasive approach to break free from trauma, stress, anxiety and fear. This works directly to reprogram the way in which distressing memories and images are stored in the brain so they no longer trigger strong physical and emotional reactions. This approach can help quickly clear the emotional blocks without having to relive and retell the painful details.

    Relief can often by felt in as little as one to five sessions and is perfect for young teens to adults.

  • You’re finally starting to admit to yourself that something isn’t right.

    You can feel yourself starting to unravel. You’re exhausted but can’t sleep, and the tension never really lets up. Your emotions either feel way too big…or like they’re not there at all. Staying busy and keeping control used to work, but now you just feel disconnected—from yourself, your people, and even your own body.

    I see you.

    You just need to show up here and settle in - I’ll be here too.

    See you soon

What do you want your story to be?

Trauma Therapy for Individuals and couples in Burke, VA

The soundtrack of our self-talk was given to us by messages and experiences from childhood.

The story of who we are and what we want has been on loop for far too long.

The limiting beliefs, the fear, the worthlessness, the perfectionism, the struggling relationships, the relentlessness…

It’s not you anymore.

Let’s take that story back - editing takes courage as we reclaim what’s ours:

Relationships • Past • Goals • Authenticity

We can change the trajectory of where we are going. We are proactive vs reactive and we live like we mean it - and that is where we thrive and heal.

Let’s rewrite that story together.
