Who We Serve
Complex Trauma, PTSD & Dissociation
​
Trauma is not just what happened—it's also what has been fragmented, stuck, embodied, and transformed internally and externally. Whether from a single incident or a series of ongoing experiences, trauma can quietly reshape how we relate to ourselves, others, and the world around us.
​
Complex trauma often stems from prolonged exposure to distress, especially in relationships where safety, trust, or belonging were compromised. You may notice lingering patterns—hypervigilance, emotional shutdown, people-pleasing, or feeling chronically overwhelmed. You might struggle with flashbacks, dissociation, identity confusion, or a deep disconnect from your inner self.
​
-
Have you lived through systemic or identity-based harm?
-
Do you find yourself disconnected or "zoning out" during moments of stress?
-
Are you curious about inner child healing, parts work, or somatic approaches to trauma?
-
Do you want to better understand how trauma lives in the body and reclaim a sense of wholeness?
Our work together can support nervous system regulation, emotional integration, and a return to your embodied truth. This is a space for your story to be expansive, creative, and integrative, not pathologized—for your self-parts to be met with curiosity and compassion, communication -- not shame.
​
Personality Patterns & Identity Struggles
​
Many people live with long-standing patterns of relating to themselves and others that feel deeply ingrained—often shaped by early experiences, cultural expectations, and survival responses. These enduring patterns, sometimes labeled as personality disorder traits, may affect how we manage emotions, form relationships, or maintain a stable sense of self.
​
You might notice cycles of emotional intensity, fear of abandonment, chronic self-doubt, or difficulty trusting your own voice. You may crave closeness while fearing it or feel unseen even in spaces meant for connection. These are not personal failures—they are often protective adaptations that deserve care, not judgment.
​
In therapy, we explore these patterns with compassion, cultural awareness, and deep respect for the complexity of your story. Together, we can build a more rooted sense of identity, attachment, emotional intelligence, and emotional resilience.
Couples, Expansive Relationships & Relational Wound Healing
​
Our relationships often reflect the most tender, complex parts of who we are—our past experiences, cultural roots, attachment patterns, and the stories we carry about love, worth, and connection. Relational healing isn’t linear; it is progressive, and it’s about learning to be present, attuned, and honest with ourselves and those we love.
Whether you are in a monogamous, polyamorous, or non-traditional relationship, you deserve spaces where your connection can be nurtured with care, embodied safety, nuance, and integrity.
​
-
Are you in a new or long-standing relationship navigating emotional distance, conflict, or disconnection?
-
Do you or your partner(s) carry histories of trauma, anxiety, or self-doubt that show up in your dynamic
-
Have conversations about boundaries, intimacy, trust, or family dynamics become difficult to hold?
-
Are you seeking to expand your relationship structure with clarity, honesty, and mutual care?
​
Through couples therapy or relationship coaching, we’ll explore patterns, restore emotional safety, and strengthen the foundation of connection, communication, commitment, and choice based on needs, desires, and future goals.

Support for Active Service Members, Veterans & Their Families
​
Military life carries a unique mark characterized by service, separation, sacrifice, and reintegration. Whether you're an active-duty service member, a veteran, or a family member, these experiences can leave lasting emotional, relational, and physical imprints. You may be navigating the weight of trauma, identity shifts, high-stress roles, or the challenge of reconnecting after long periods apart. Whether you're processing trauma, seeking reconnection, or building tools for the next chapter—this is a space for restoration, meaning-making, and coming home to yourself and your relationships.
​
Individuals and families impacted by military life using an integrative, trauma-informed approach that includes Expressive Arts Therapy, EMDR, Brainspotting, Somatic Therapy, and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). These methods support deep emotional processing, nervous system regulation, and healing beyond words—through body, image, movement, and relationship.
​
In addition, family-focused therapy and reintegration support to help you navigate the transitions that often come with returning home, adjusting to new roles, or re-establishing intimacy after deployment. This work honors the whole family system—recognizing that military service impacts everyone, not just the individual in uniform.
