Psychotherapy at HeartWoven Wellness
Therapy for People Ready for Something Deeper
You may be functioning well in many areas of your life.
Perhaps other people see you as capable, successful, thoughtful, or dependable.
But internally, things may feel more complicated.
You may feel anxious more often than you'd like. You may struggle with relationships, boundaries, self-doubt, or emotional overwhelm. You may find yourself reacting strongly to situations that seem small—or feeling disconnected from emotions altogether.
Perhaps you've already spent years trying to understand yourself.
And yet, something still feels stuck.
Therapy can offer a different kind of space.
A place to slow down.
To become curious.
To understand what has shaped you.
And to begin making changes that extend beyond simply managing symptoms.
What We May Work On Together
I work with adults navigating a variety of emotional and psychological concerns, including:
-
Trauma and distressing past experiences
-
Anxiety and chronic worry
-
Relationship patterns
-
Difficulties with boundaries
-
Low self-worth and self-criticism
-
Major life transitions
-
Grief and loss
-
Identity questions
-
Emotional overwhelm
-
Stress and burnout
-
Patterns connected to childhood or family experiences
-
Spiritual questions and religious trauma
-
A general sense of feeling stuck despite significant self-awareness
You do not need to have a diagnosis—or even know exactly what you need—in order to begin therapy.
Sometimes the starting point is simply:
"I know something needs to change."
My Approach
My work is trauma-informed, relational, and integrative.
I believe that symptoms often make more sense when we understand the experiences and patterns beneath them.
Together, we'll pay attention to what is happening in your life now while also exploring the experiences that may have shaped how you see yourself, relate to others, and respond to the world.
Depending on your needs, therapy may include:
-
EMDR therapy
-
Insight-oriented psychotherapy
-
Trauma-informed approaches
-
Attachment and relationship-focused work
-
Mindfulness and present-moment awareness
-
Exploration of emotional and behavioral patterns
-
Meaning-making and existential exploration
-
Spiritual integration, when desired
Therapy is collaborative.
I won't assume that I know your life better than you do.
Instead, we'll work together to understand what is happening and determine what meaningful change looks like for you.
Therapy Isn't About Becoming a Different Person
Sometimes people worry that therapy will require them to endlessly analyze themselves or revisit painful experiences forever.
That's not the goal.
Healing doesn't mean erasing your past.
And it doesn't mean becoming someone else.
Often, it means becoming less controlled by experiences and patterns that developed when you had fewer choices, less information, or less power than you do now.
Therapy can help you create more space between what happens and how you respond.
More freedom.
More choice.
More connection to yourself.
In-Person and Telehealth Therapy
In person in South Lake Tahoe, California
and
Through secure telehealth for clients located in California.
Telehealth can offer flexibility and accessibility while still providing meaningful, in-depth psychotherapy.
For EMDR and other specialized approaches, we will determine together whether telehealth is clinically appropriate for your individual needs.
