You’ve spent years trying to make life make sense and to find where you fit in the world always feeling like an outsider, different from your family, or that you don’t belong. You bounce around from one hobby, friend group, or idea to another. Perhaps, your identity feels like it’s been chosen for you, and you’re ready to break free from expectations. Maybe you were praised your whole life for being a team player or high achiever in school or work, but the cost of that very thing has you full of stress and anxiety at home with partners, loved ones, and friends—seeking out external validation for shit you don’t really care about.

Some of our greatest needs as human beings are to feel heard and understood. This is something that we all deserve, but unfortunately do not always experience. Therapy allows this to happen in a safe and nonjudgmental way. My number one priority is for the people I work with to feel safe and supported. I meet my clients where they are, and follow their lead so that they leave our sessions feeling like their most immediate needs and concerns were addressed.

Did traditional talk therapy leave you feeling stuck, unresolved, and did not result in the outcome you were hoping for? My work is rooted in a trauma-focused lens that addresses deeper, problematic subconscious patterns that drive addiction, low esteem, and other invisible chains of toxic shame. Since 2013, I’ve worked with high-acuity clients and families in community mental health, including severe and persistent mental illness, dual-diagnosis/substance use, homelessness, and at-risk transitional-aged youth. My background and experience have shaped my grounded, direct, and unconventional approach to healing.

On the outside, it may look like you’re holding everything together. You go to work, handle responsibilities, and try to show up for others—but inside, something feels off. You may have trouble sleeping, feel on edge, or notice yourself becoming easily irritated. It can show up in your relationships through conflict or feeling disconnected. You may try to push it down or move on, but it keeps coming back in your emotions, your body, or how you respond to stress. Over time, this can leave you feeling stuck, frustrated, or wondering why things haven’t changed.
