Services:
Therapy at The Healing Office is grounded, collaborative, and focused on real change. I work with adults and teens (13+) who are navigating a wide range of emotional, relational, and behavioral challenges. Below you'll find more details about the kind of therapy I offer, how I work, and what you can expect.
Therapy for Teens (Ages 13+)
Adolescence can be a confusing and overwhelming time. Teens may struggle with mood swings, anxiety, school stress, identity questions, peer pressure, or family conflict. Therapy gives them a space to slow down, feel heard, and learn how to manage their emotions, communicate more effectively, and build a stronger sense of self.
Common issues: anxiety, depression, ADHD, emotional outbursts, school avoidance, perfectionism, self-esteem struggles, identity questions.
Individual Therapy for Adults
Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, burned out, or just unsure where to go next—therapy can help. Together, we’ll identify patterns, process difficult emotions, and develop tools to support you in daily life. This is a space to be honest, slow down, and get curious about what’s really going on underneath the surface.
Common issues: anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship stress, emotional regulation, identity, grief, career issues, low self-worth, boundaries.
Couples Therapy
Relationships require care and maintenance. When communication breaks down or emotions run high, it can be hard to feel connected. I help couples understand their dynamic, rebuild trust, and learn to communicate with more honesty and care.
Common issues: conflict, disconnection, resentment, infidelity, emotional distance, navigating life transitions together.
Family Therapy
When families struggle to connect or communicate, the tension can affect everyone. I work with families to identify unhelpful patterns, strengthen relationships, and create new ways of relating. Family therapy often supports teens, but it can also be helpful for adult siblings, parents, and multi-generational families.
Common issues: parent/child conflict, emotional disconnection, boundary issues, breakdowns in communication, navigating change.
EMDR Therapy
Unresolved trauma, difficult memories, or stuck emotional patterns can feel overwhelming or confusing. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) helps the brain process experiences so they no longer feel so intense. I use EMDR to work with both recent and long-term trauma, and I integrate attachment-focused approaches when early relationship wounds are present.
Symptoms & Concerns I Work With:
Anxiety
Anxiety can make your mind feel like it’s always in overdrive. You may constantly overthink things, replay conversations in your head, or worry that something bad is going to happen—even when everything seems fine on the outside. You might avoid social situations, struggle to fall asleep, or feel tension in your body that never quite goes away. Physical symptoms like chest tightness, nausea, shakiness, or a racing heart can make it hard to relax or feel safe in your body.
This kind of anxiety can affect your relationships, your work, and your ability to be present in your own life.

Borderline & Narcissistic Traits
If you feel like your emotions are always intense or unpredictable, or if relationships feel unstable or overwhelming, you may be experiencing traits related to emotional dysregulation or personality dynamics. You might fear being abandoned, feel empty or unsure of who you are, or go from deep connection to disconnection quickly.
On the outside, this can look like being “too much,” but on the inside, it often comes from deep pain, unmet needs, or early relational wounds. These patterns can be exhausting and painful, but they are treatable with the right support.

Grief & Loss
Grief isn’t linear. It can feel like waves—sometimes overwhelming, sometimes distant, sometimes like it catches you off guard. You may find yourself avoiding reminders of your loss, feeling emotionally disconnected, or stuck in sadness, anger, or regret. Even when time has passed, you might struggle with finding meaning or adjusting to life without what you’ve lost.
Grief doesn’t just follow death—it can come from breakups, illness, moving, changes in identity, or losing parts of yourself.

Depression & Mood Issues
Depression doesn’t always look like sadness. Sometimes it’s emotional numbness, low energy, or feeling like nothing really matters. You might feel like you're moving through the day on autopilot—getting things done, but disconnected from joy or meaning. Other times, depression shows up as irritability, guilt, or the sense that you’re failing even when you're doing your best. Changes in appetite, sleep, and motivation are common.
These experiences can make it hard to show up for yourself or others and may impact your ability to plan for the future, make decisions, or feel connected to your values.

​Trauma & PTSD
Trauma lives in the nervous system, not just in your memories. You might have flashbacks, nightmares, or intense emotional reactions to things that seem small to others. Or you might feel emotionally numb, dissociated, or like you're watching life from the outside. You may avoid people or situations that remind you of what happened—even if you can’t always name why.
Trauma can affect your relationships, your ability to trust, and your sense of identity. You may feel stuck in survival mode, struggling with shame, guilt, or feeling unsafe in your own body.
May be related to: Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Complex PTSD, Childhood Trauma, Attachment Trauma
Perfectionism & Burnout
Perfectionism often shows up as constant pressure to perform, succeed, or keep everything under control. You might never feel like you're doing enough—no matter how much you accomplish. Burnout can follow, leaving you physically and emotionally drained, disconnected from joy, and unsure of what you’re working toward.
This pattern can be tied to self-worth, fear of failure, or early experiences of needing to be “the strong one” or “the achiever.”

​Life Transitions & Stress
Big changes—chosen or not—can leave you feeling disoriented or overwhelmed. Whether you're going through a breakup, starting a new job, questioning your identity, or adjusting to a new phase of life, it’s common to feel lost or unsure of how to move forward.
You might be carrying anxiety, grief, or self-doubt.
Therapy provides space to pause, reflect, and navigate transition with clarity and support.

Co-Dependency & Boundaries
You may constantly prioritize others at the expense of your own needs, struggle to set boundaries, or feel guilty for saying no. Your identity may feel tied to being needed, fixing things, or keeping the peace. Over time, this can lead to burnout, resentment, or losing touch with who you are outside of your relationships.
Therapy can help you reconnect with your values, set healthy limits, and create relationships that feel more balanced and mutual.
May be related to: Co-Dependency, People-Pleasing, Enmeshment, Relational Trauma
Relationship Issues
Relationship struggles can leave you feeling alone, misunderstood, or emotionally exhausted—even when you’re in the same room as someone you love. You may find yourselves having the same arguments over and over, shutting down emotionally, or avoiding hard conversations out of fear.
​​
You might question whether the relationship can be repaired or if you’re the problem. Underneath the conflict, there’s often hurt, fear, unmet needs, and a longing to feel connected and safe again. Therapy creates space to slow down, understand your patterns, and start building new ways of relating—with yourself and with others.
