Welcome to Dazed Therapy

Welcome to Dazed Therapy, where we hold space for those navigating the intricate landscapes of life after trauma. Dazed Therapy is dedicated to providing compassionate support for couples and individuals in the disorienting aftermath of life’s challenges.

We understand that trauma can sometimes leave you feeling lost, disconnected, and in a daze. We carefully attune to clients’ nervous systems in order to offer a safe and nurturing space where healing and connection is be possible. We go at your own pace, you’re always in control. Let’s collaborate.

Meet Our Therapist Team

The aftermath of trauma can feel both daunting and undefined. You may feel like you don’t know yourself anymore. The idea of who you are becoming may bring even more uncertainty. You may notice that your relationships are falling apart, causing you to feel isolated, yet still yearning for connection.

We’re dedicated to providing you with a safe and non-judgmental space where you can start to make sense of it all. Slowly, you’ll learn to feel and identify emotions which will enable you to process your past. Eventually, your nervous system may find equilibrium again. Gradually, your body can learn to let go. Then movement and life can truly begin again.

You’re not alone, let’s do this together.

Transform With EMDR Intensives

In an EMDR intensive, you may get the opportunity to process upsetting past events which can help you to feel more grounded, safe, and trusting of yourself and others. As an experienced EMDR therapist, I can help you get to the root of what is holding you back from living a more connected and present life.

EMDR intensives are concentrated, lasting for 4 hours per day over 1-2 days. This path can offer you the deepest healing in the shortest amount of time. You’re not alone, let’s do this together. Funding may be available.

Around this (virtual) office, we value and prioritize: 

  • We believe in the client and therapist working together as a team. We believe that you're the expert on your experiences, and you get to decide how we work together.

  • We believe in an anti-oppressive perspective that acknowledges that certain groups in society have historically been disadvantaged and oppressed, leading to unequal power dynamics and social injustices.

    Dazed Therapy operates on an anti-oppressive sliding scale fee schedule for individual and couples sessions.

  • In therapy, we foster a respectful, inclusive, and supportive environment where neurodivergent individuals feel understood, accepted, and empowered to navigate their lives authentically.

  • As therapists with knowledge of military culture, we are equipped to providing comprehensive support to military personnel, veterans, and their families. We understand the unique challenges and experiences that come with serving in the military and aim to offer culturally sensitive therapy tailored to address those specific needs. Our goal is to create a therapeutic environment that fosters understanding, and empathy for individuals and families within the military community.

  • We are committed to doing the ongoing work of exploring how our lived experiences of structural oppression, including points of marginalization and privilege, have impacted our lives.

As therapists who have not always had access to mental health therapy, removing barriers to accessible care is one of our top priorities. We invite you to learn more about some of the non-profits we have partnered with on our resources page. You will also find crisis resources and therapist directories to support you in connecting with a therapist who is the right fit for you.
