HELPING YOU MOVE FORWARD



Transitions in life can be unsettling, frustrating, and challenging. They can also be a period

of personal development and a chance to gain a fresh perspective on oneself. Dr. Z works

directly with clients to assist them in making decisions and change how they approach life.

PSYCHOTHERAPY Services for a More Fulfilling Life

I work with high-functioning individuals navigating ADHD, anxiety, and mild depression who are used to being "the strong one" for others but struggle to be that for themselves. Many begin to recognize how underlying trauma or PTSD impacts their ability to feel grounded, regulated, and present. Creatives, leaders, and neuro-spicy individuals are especially welcomed.


My approach blends a feminine energy framework with trauma-informed care, supporting clients in shifting out of burnout, over-offering, and survival mode into greater self-trust, balance, and emotional alignment. We explore patterns in boundaries, self-worth, and relationships while creating space for rest and reconnection.



I specialize in trauma treatment using EMDR, helping the brain reprocess distressing experiences so they no longer carry the same emotional intensity.

Together, we build emotional regulation, strengthen boundaries, and create sustainable ways of showing up for your life, without abandoning yourself.


Therapy with Dr. Gross is a space to slow down, process, and feel seen, supported, and aligned in who you are becoming.
