Attachment-Focused EMDR & Trauma Therapy
A place to put down what you've been carrying...
Individual psychotherapy in person in San Francisco and virtually in California with Attachment-Focused EMDR, internal Family Systems and mindfulness practices. Healing from trauma, including chronic somatic symptoms and a chance for all the parts of you to be met.
MAYBE THIS SOUNDS FAMILIAR
You don't need to have the words yet.
A history of trauma or abuse still shapes how safe the present moment feels.
Chronic pain, tension, or somatic symptoms that no test fully explains.
A sense of being cut off from love, creativity, curiosity, and pleasure.
Wanting to understand what's underneath the anxiety, rage, or numbness.
Patterns around food, substances, or relationships that feel hard to shift alone.
A pull toward deeper meaning, spirit, or expanded states of consciousness.
THE WORK
Three threads, one practice
Every person arrives with a different mix of cultural history, body & mind experiences, and belief systems. Sessions draw from whichever of these serves what's actually in front of us in the present moment.
-
01 · EMDR | Attachment-Focused EMDR
Trained through the Parnell Institute and EMDRIA-certified, EMDR helps the nervous system finish processing what got stuck, using bilateral stimulation to access your own innate capacity to heal.
-
02 · RECOVERY | Recovery From Trauma
Trauma keeps us from being fully alive in the present. We work to clear what's stuck, and consciously fill the space that opens with new, authentic ways of being.
-
03 · BEYOND | Transpersonal Work
For those who want it, meditation, spiritual experience, and Buddhist psychology have a place here, held with the same rigor as clinical work.
