I have supported hundreds of couples over the past 15+ years and look forward to helping you get yours where you want it to be. Poor communication? Broken trust? Endless arguments? I look forward to hearing from you.
You are about to begin an important journey to explore your struggles, connection with yourself and others, and how you can live in deeper alignment with your values. You might be challenged by your intimate relationships, you may be dealing with a chronic illness, the loss of a loved one, feeling overwhelmed or stagnant. You might want to cultivate a deeper sense of meaning and purpose in your life. I believe that traditional talk therapy can be powerful alone, but integrating mindfulness of the body can more adequately address experiences in the present moment and help transform deeply ingrained beliefs or patterns. I will encourage you to move beneath words and life stories, so experiences can be felt and understood, allowing your innate wisdom to support change. I will also integrate behavioral therapies to help you cultivate the necessary skills for building a sense of emotional resilience and nurturing healthy relationships. You don't have to be alone on your journey. Therapy is a courageous act, a gesture of willingness to turn towards your inner world. Together, we will create a safe and supportive space for reflection and change on your path towards healing, growth, and reclaiming of your life.
With compassion, presence and warmth, I am here to be your partner and guide on your growth journey. I partner with you to heal emotional trauma and gain self-acceptance through my specialized mind-body approach. I support you through healing limiting beliefs about yourself, developing excellent boundaries, and connecting with your inner-wisdom. You are unique and so is your therapy process, so we tailor our work together to your specific needs and goals. I serve empaths and highly sensitive people, supporting you in coming home to who you really are. Somatic. LGBTQ+. Internal Family Systems. Check out my TEDx talk via my website!
Every person has the potential and inner knowledge to overcome hardship. It is my passion to help others create connections that facilitate that ability to heal. I provide a safe holding space where people can explore what is blocking them from enjoying their lives to the fullest. Life is going to present challenges, there is no getting around that. What we do now and how we move forward is what matters. I welcome you to come explore your negative beliefs and strengthen new positive adaptive beliefs that allow you to thrive in your daily life.

People come to me because they're navigating difficulties with life changes, depression, anxiety—any of a million ways that distress manifests itself in our lives. If I had to say I have a specialty, it's seeing you for the unique person that you are, and meeting you where you are in your struggle. I work with my clients to help discover what issues are causing difficulty or suffering and then to identify the strengths that people have inside of them to help address those challenges.
I see my work as walking a path with you. It’s not my job to tell you which path to take or point you to a different path. My job is to walk alongside of you and point out some of the things you're not noticing. I accompany you down your path instead of telling you where to go.
It's really common for people to think nobody sees them—nobody gets them—and that's my work. To set a safe place for you to be fully you, and to have somebody who sees you. Sees your doubts, your fears, all the things that you feel are flaws, and accepts you for all of that. I truly believe that at our core we're all trying to grow toward our truest self, and my job isn't to tell you what that true self is. It's really to just provide you a space to grow into that, and get out of your way, and support you and help you do it.
Has your relationship become an angry, sad, or scary place leaving you feeling alone, hurt, and discouraged? Are you and your partner feeling lost in conflict cycles you don’t understand and desperately want to change? Many of the couples I work with come to therapy feeling just like you. I understand how much courage it takes to reach out for help and to let another person get inside your relationship, especially when you are feeling so vulnerable. If you are searching for a safe place to explore what's not working in your relationship, and support in creating solutions, I can help. My practice focuses exclusively on couple therapy. In addition to thousands of hours working with couples in distress, I have completed hundreds of hours of clinical training specific to couples therapy, including advanced training in both Emotion Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method Couple Therapy. I am truly passionate about helping couples heal and flourish.
I am a somatic trained therapist offering online therapy to creative individuals. I am a queer-friendly therapist, specializing in working with bisexual clients/concerns. I work with people-pleasers and creatives who struggle with anxiety, attachment issues, and trauma.
I'm a neurodivergent trauma specialist who tailors therapy to your unique needs and challenges. I can help you gain insight into your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and provide practical tools for managing daily life. My approach includes validation, self-compassion, and acceptance, and I aim to create a safe space where you can be yourself.
I specialize in helping trauma survivors, especially survivors of childhood and/or adult sexual trauma, reclaim the life they were meant to live. If you're struggling with symptoms related to trauma, such as being easily triggered, anxiety or depression, dissociation (feeling spaced out, numb, unable to ground, or connect to your body's sensations) trouble sleeping, nightmares, or flashbacks and more, you're in the right place (for an extensive list of trauma symptoms check out my post https://www.healingsexualtrauma.com/post/what-are-trauma-symptoms). My goal is to help you get the results you're looking for while offering lots of needed compassion and understanding. I'm the author of the Healing Sexual Trauma Workbook, the upcoming Healing Sexual Trauma Guided Journal (2024), and teacher of the PESI Sexual Trauma Clinical Training. I'm dedicated to supporting my clients as they navigate their healing journey.
