Trauma, Dissociation, Grief, and Anxiety
Integrative psychotherapy for adults
If you’ve been living with trauma, anxiety, grief, dissociation, or simply the feeling that life has become overwhelming, therapy can provide a place to understand what is happening, reduce suffering, and begin moving forward.
Perhaps you’ve been struggling for a long time. You may feel anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, or exhausted. Maybe you’ve experienced trauma, find yourself losing time or feeling disconnected from yourself, or simply know that life shouldn’t feel this difficult. Whatever has brought you here, you don’t have to face it alone.
Drawing on more than two decades of clinical practice in hospitals, residential treatment, and private practice, I integrate traditional psychotherapy with Brainspotting and Internal Family Systems (IFS). Rather than relying on a single method, I tailor therapy to each person’s unique needs, strengths, and goals, recognizing that healing is different for everyone.
Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, coping with trauma, navigating a major life transition, or simply sensing that something in your life needs attention, I welcome your call or email. Reaching out for therapy can feel difficult but together we can determine whether working together feels like a good fit.
If you are interested in taking this journey with me, I invite you to browse my website and then go to Contact & Appointments to learn about my fees, terms of treatment, and to make an appointment.
LOVE AFTER LOVE
by Derek Walcott

The time will come
when, with elation
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror
and each will smile at the other’s welcome,
stay, sit here. Eat.
You will love again the stranger who was your self.
Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart
to itself, to the stranger who has loved you
your life, whom you ignored
for another, who knows you by heart.
Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,
photographs, the desperate notes,
peel your own image from the mirror.
Sit. Feast on your life.
