Hey, I'm Addison, but you can just call me Addy 🌞

I’m a therapist who shows up as both a professional and a real human. My approach is simple but deep: first, we’ll build tools and strategies to help you feel more in control of your day-to-day life. Then, when you’re ready, we’ll gently dig into the deeper stuff - using EMDR and ego states therapy (aka parts work) to get to the roots of what’s been keeping you stuck. My goal is always lasting, sustainable change, not just a quick-fix.

More than any technique, though, I believe therapy works best when there’s trust, safety, and mutual respect in the room - because no intervention, no matter how perfectly executed, will stick if we don’t have that relational foundation. Sometimes that means we’ll agree, sometimes it means we’ll bump into tension - but I see that as practice. Together, we can use those moments to strengthen healthier ways of relating that naturally ripple into your life outside of therapy, too.

As a therapist, I value both collaboration and challenge. I believe healing happens at the edge of our comfort zones - but that edge looks different for everyone, and we’ll navigate it together with care. I love helping people get curious about what’s possible, gently pressing into the hard questions when it feels right, and pulling back when your nervous system says it’s time to slow down and reflect. Therapy with me is about partnership, not performance: honoring your pace while also nudging growth when you're ready.

A little about me beyond the therapy chair: I’ve been married for six years, I have a five-year-old dog who’s basically my best friend, and my family is scattered across the U.S. and overseas. I grew up in a Christian home and played college volleyball thinking I’d become a physical therapist. But somewhere along the way, I realized I didn’t just want to help people heal their bodies - I wanted to go deeper into the emotional, relational, and mental side of healing.

That shift led me to pursue my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, become a certified yoga teacher, and complete advanced EMDR trainings. Now I get to bring all of these pieces together - therapy, yoga, EMDR, and (for those who want it) faith integration - into a holistic approach that honors the connection between mind, body, and spirit.

At the end of the day, my hope is that therapy with me feels like a safe space to be fully yourself: professional enough that you know you’re in good hands, human enough that you feel free to take off the mask.
