☦︎ Dedicated, intensive focus


Please read before reaching out: My practice is best suited for psychologically minded adults seeking depth-oriented psychotherapy for concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, codependency, life transitions, and personal growth.I am generally not the best fit for individuals requiring a higher level of care, including active suicidal or homicidal risk, severe personality pathology requiring intensive treatment, active substance dependence, acute psychosis or mania, or court-ordered, forensic, or legal evaluations.If you are experiencing a mental health emergency or are concerned about your immediate safety, call 911, go to your nearest emergency department, or contact the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline by calling or texting 988. Finding the right therapist matters. If I'm not the best fit for your needs, I sincerely hope you find someone who is.



If we work together, my entire focus will be on helping you achieve meaningful, lasting breakthroughs. I draw on a finely tuned blend of the most powerful perspectives on attachment, anxiety, panic, depression, dissociation, and codependency. Early family dynamics are often pivotal, and key insights from neuroscience can open new ways of understanding yourself. Together, we can build clarity, unlock deep capacities, and disrupt entrenched patterns, making way for what you already know you need, want, and aspire


About Dr. Schroder

I am a USA-licensed psychologist (Hawaii, Colorado, Florida), clinician, and author with expertise in assessment, trauma, and transformative psychotherapy. My work integrates attachment science, Jungian/archetypal psychology, and psychospiritual healing. I also draw on polyvagal theory and affective neuroscience (concerning the emotional systems we share with mammals) to create a rich, multidimensional approach.I hold two master’s degrees and a doctorate, have worked at a major university and hospital, with hundreds of—often brilliant—individuals, children, and families—navigating a wide range of challenges and disorders. I have been fortunate to facilitate and witness dramatic, positive development across these diverse contexts.


Heartbreaks... let the light in

Emotional storms hold us back. Blends of anxiety, numbness, heartbreak. They repeat across time, and across intense relationships. We feel we know what's happening. Still these patterns persist, and sabotage earnest efforts to finally heal. Many patterns have roots in the early life. Most involve tremendous fear, though, commonly partially repressed. These patterns contribute to, and emerge from painful breaks. Where we once felt love, we now are scarred.


Suffering

Emotionally wounded people often wrestle more deeply with what truly matters in life than those fortunate enough to have traveled an easier road. The greater the suffering, the greater this paradox: trauma forces an intimate confrontation with life's beauty and brutality alike. For some, this becomes an unending burden with all the usual things - anxiety, depression, relationship conflct, substance abuse, perhaps work, legal, financial disasters, etc. For others, it becomes the beginning of transformation. Through the difficult process known as post-traumatic growth, suffering may give rise to heightened sensitivity, deeper appreciation, greater aliveness, and a renewed commitment to embrace life fully.

“When we direct our attention toward our suffering, we see our potential for happiness. We see the nature of suffering and the way out. That is why the Buddha called suffering a holy truth. When we use the word “suffering” in Buddhism, we mean the kind of suffering that can show us the way out.” - Thich Nhat Hanh
