Trauma-Informed Psychotherapy for Complex Histories


Specialized care for professionals navigating ADHD, relational trauma,
and the patterns that keep you stuck—delivered through secure telehealth
across Florida.

A Different Kind of Therapy Practice

This is not a wellness clinic. This is specialized psychotherapy for people with histories that don’t fit into typical talk therapy models.

I work with professionals who:

  • Have tried therapy before without sustainable results

  • Navigate high-functioning ADHD that masks deeper dysregulation

  • Carry trauma histories that require more than symptom management

  • Need a clinician who understands complexity, not just coping skills

My training includes certification in trauma-focused interventions
(CCTP, EMDR-informed protocols, Accelerated Resolution Therapy) and
ADHD-specific psychotherapy (ADHD-CCSP). I work within evidence-based frameworks, adapted to your specific presentation.

This Work Is For You If:

You’re a professional who has kept it together on the outside while managing
patterns that don’t respond to surface-level interventions.

You might be dealing with:

  • Relational trauma that shows up in your partnerships, boundaries, or trust
  • ADHD that complicates emotional regulation, not just focus
  • Persistent anxiety, anger, or emotional numbness despite “doing the work”
  • Histories of developmental trauma, attachment disruption, or complex PTSD

You’re looking for:

  • A clinician who treats you as psychologically sophisticated, not fragile
  • Depth-oriented therapy that respects your intelligence and time
  • Evidence-based interventions without hype or rigid protocols
  • Trauma processing that doesn’t require months of “building safety”

This is not the right fit if:

  • You’re seeking brief solution-focused coaching or wellness support
  • You need in-person sessions (this is telehealth-only across Florida)
  • You’re looking for a therapist who will tell you what to do

How We Work

Epic Flourish — Clinical Services

Pathways to Individuation

A concierge telehealth practice for high‑achieving professionals, partners, and families — inclusive of LGBTQ+, non‑monogamous, and polyamorous structures. In‑person work is reserved for the Gold Coast Retreat. Select a pathway to explore its architecture.

Trauma-informed psychotherapy means treating your nervous system as the
primary client. We work at the pace your system can integrate, using
interventions designed for memory reconsolidation and emotional regulation.

  • Trauma Reprocessing

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and EMDR-informed protocols to address intrusive memories, somatic activation, and unresolved traumatic material without prolonged exposure.

  • ADHD-Informed Psychotherapy

Structured interventions that account for executive function challenges,
emotional dysregulation, and the intersection of ADHD with trauma responses.

 

  • Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy

Practical tools for working with rumination, shame spirals, and reactive
patterns—grounded in evidence, not lifestyle optimization.

 

 

  • This is psychotherapy, not coaching. The goal is structural trait change, not
    symptom suppression.

    You Don’t Have to Decide Everything Now

    Starting therapy—especially trauma therapy—can feel like a vulnerability
    you’re not sure you’re ready for.

    That’s expected. The intake process is designed to be slow and transparent.

    You’ll know what to expect before committing to ongoing work.

    If you’re uncertain, text me with questions. I respond personally, and there’s
    no pressure to book.
