Move forward through therapy.
Our Focus
Through Therapy offers therapy for individuals who have experienced trauma that led them to suppress, avoid, or deny their needs. This often manifests as anxiety, difficulty with change, struggles with identity, and persistent feelings of loneliness and disconnection from self and others.

New to Therapy?
Here’s what to expect:
-
Free Consultation
If you're new to therapy, it's completely normal to be unsure if it's right for you – and that's okay! You might also be wondering if I'm the right therapist for you. Feel free to reach out to schedule a complimentary 15-minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit.
-
Make a Plan
In our initial sessions, we'll explore how you've been feeling and work to identify what's going on. This will help us create a plan for our time together and determine the best approach to support you
-
Work as a Team
When we meet, we’ll collaboratively work toward your individual goals to promote growth and development. I utilize evidence-based practices to help you navigate thoughts, feelings, sensations and behaviors.
Our Specialties
Anxiety
-
Living with anxiety can be an exhausting experience. Day to day activities become riddled with anxious thoughts, sensations and feelings. Sleep, relationships, work, and school may suffer. At times, anxiety feels like it’s stealing the joy from life.
-
Some common experiences of anxiety include:
Feeling restless, irritable, or on edge
Sweating or trembling
Feeling weak or tired
Sleep disturbance (difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep)
Trouble concentrating
Having difficulty controlling worry
Experiencing an urge to avoid things that cause anxiety
Chest pain, hyperventilation, increased heart rate
-
Imagine living a life without constantly overthinking and feeling on edge. Engaging in psychotherapy can help uncover, explore and cope with what triggers and feeds your anxiety. With guidance and support, we can help you learn to accept and manage your anxiety, experience more productivity in work and life, while deepening relationships with friends and family.
Life Transitions and Stress
-
We all go through periods of adjustment, significant changes, and times of transition. While these times can be exciting, they can also be fraught with anxiety, fear, a loss of sense of self, and ambivalence.
-
Career change
Beginning or ending a significant relationship
Becoming a caregiver
Moving
A general feeling of uncertainty with regards to life’s next steps
Death of a loved one
Living alone for the first time
Sudden financial hardship
-
Regardless of whether or not these changes are planned, they can be stressful. Psychotherapy can support you in processing your feelings, make sense of your experience during a time that feels uncertain and support you in feeling more secure in your choices and yourself.
Attachment Disruption
-
Attachment theory is the concept that our attachment style with our primary caregivers directly affects our relationships throughout our entire lives.
Through early interactions, we develop “working models” for how relationships are and how to act within them.
These working models shape the way we see relationships, creating certain assumptions and blindspots that can begin to cause problems if left unchecked. Sometimes, our relationships can undergo a “rupture.”
-
Betrayal
Broken trust
Emotional or physical unavailability
Divorce
Loss of a loved one
Abuse/neglect
Sudden changes or shifts in relational dynamics
-
Since many people who come to therapy have had attachment ruptures throughout their childhood, therapy becomes a safe place to repair some of the ruptured relationships (if desired), make sense of and grieve some of the ruptures as well as experience a new way of connecting and being in relationship.
This safety and connection allows for a deep healing to happen, which increases confidence, sense of identity and security, social skills, emotional regulation and empathy.
The hardest part is taking the first step, and you already did that.
