§ About · Rocky A practice
A practice
built on being
actually present.
A small, associate-led practice for people stuck in patterns around food, addiction, and control. Here, the pace is slower and the work goes deeper — past the surface behavior to what's actually driving it.
On my approach — I work past surface-level symptoms to what’s actually driving the pattern. Whether that’s anxiety, overwhelm, or the harder-to-name emotional stuff underneath, we name it together before we try to change it.
On what I believe — Real change doesn’t come from willpower alone. It comes from understanding yourself differently, and building new ways of responding that actually last.
On who I work with — People who feel stuck — in food, in addiction, in the exhausting work of holding everything together. If you’ve ever felt like you “should” be able to figure it out on your own but keep ending up in the same place, this is for you.

clearly stated.
EMDR trained
Certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing — an evidence-based modality for working with trauma that talk therapy alone often can’t reach.

Under licensed supervision
As an associate therapist, my clinical work is regularly reviewed by a seasoned licensed clinician — an extra layer of oversight and care for every client I see.

§ A note on being an associate
Honest about where I am
in my training.
I’m an associate therapist — meaning I’ve completed my master’s degree and clinical training, and I’m now accumulating the supervised hours required for full licensure. Every session I run is reviewed with a licensed supervisor who carries clinical responsibility for the work.
In practice this means two things for you. First, fees are lower than a fully-licensed therapist’s — the sliding-scale range reflects the associate stage, not the quality of the work. Second, you get two clinicians thinking about your case, not one — my training, plus my supervisor’s decade-plus of experience — with no second bill and no extra intake.
It’s an honest framing, not a disclaimer. Associate-therapist work is clinical work. The only thing different is the billing.
