I’m Adam, a trauma-informed therapist, and I help people who suffer from worries, nagging thoughts, religious fears, or the lingering effects of past traumas. I specialize in helping individuals navigate anxiety, OCD, low self-esteem, grief, relationship challenges, and trauma. I use evidence-based therapeutic techniques, including Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and EMDR. I believe that each individual has unique strengths and the ability to find their own solutions.

My role is to listen actively, support your personal growth, and empower you to make decisions that align with your values and goals.

Hello! My name is Anna and I work primarily with women and relationship issues. I specialize in Narcissistic Victim Syndrome and also work with self-esteem issues, stress and coping.

I also give clients my personal cell phone number so we can text each other between sessions.

In a world that often values toughness, being a highly sensitive and soft-hearted person can feel like a burden. We might say “yes” when we really mean “no”. And we may feel like we have to act differently to fit in, even if it means putting others before ourselves. Sometimes it can feel tough to find our inner courage, speak up for what we want, and create positive boundaries. This can be especially true when we’re striving for success in our careers, supporting our loved ones emotionally, or navigating big life changes. Through brainspotting, mindfulness, and somatic techniques, we’ll gently uncover the patterns that have kept you feeling stuck and build the self-trust needed to honor your own needs. As you release emotional weight and reconnect with yourself, you’ll cultivate resilience, confidence, and a deeper sense of balance in your life. If you’re ready to embrace your sensitivity, set healthier boundaries, and reconnect with yourself, I’m here to help. Let’s work together to create a life that feels balanced, authentic, and fulfilling. Reach out today to begin your journey toward healing and growth.
