Three ways I work

For adults who are hard on themselves: people who hold high standards for everyone else and rarely feel they have met their own. Sessions are conversations. We follow what matters that week and notice how old patterns show up in your life and in the room. The method is relational talk therapy. It is not advice-giving or a skills class, though we can add skills when you ask.

For when what you carry is felt more than said. We use EMDR, a structured therapy in which you recall something in small steps while following a guided movement or tapping, and slow attention to breath and sensation. These can stir strong feelings, so I explain the risks and what each asks of you before you decide. It is not hypnosis, and we do not use touch.

For the inner critic and the other voices that pull you in different directions. Parts work, informed by Internal Family Systems, treats each one as a part of you with its own reasons and gets to know it with curiosity instead of judgment. It is a way of talking about yourself, not a diagnosis, and not a replacement for medical care.
