You're wondering if you should stay or leave the relationship. Fights are happening more often and you wish you could communicate better with your partner. Perhaps one of you needs to work on yourselves if you want the relationship to last. If you've already experienced a separation, you likely need help coping with some pain or confusion. If you share a child or responsibilities with your ex, you need to figure out a healthy way of coexisting with them.

Our innate being can often be suppressed by stress, doubt, or pain. You are Precious and Irreplaceable! Therapy isn't about 'fixing' oneself; rather a journey from insight to integration, a recovery of what you may have lost along the way, finding a practice of gentleness, and a return to wholeness. Therapy is about creating a sense of your own story. I invite you to take hold of this chance for yourself on this journey inward into self-discovery.

I specialize in working with children and families in child welfare.

My goal is to "queer" the therapy space, breaking away from heteronormative tropes that leave us trying to fit into pre-determined boxes. I believe the action of therapy is achieved through the building of a safe, collaborative, and trusting relationship between client and therapist. Two people come together with their individual identities and construct a space to facilitate growth, change, and insight. In this space we can begin to explore experiences of trauma, relationship, conflict and intention. It is through this exploration that we can begin understand our relationship to the world.

I empower clients from diverse backgrounds to embrace growth, connection, and authenticity. Specializing in working with adults healing from complex trauma, LGBTQIA+ individuals, other therapists/care workers & neurodivergent humans seeking embodied emotional wellness. I support those who are ready to make changes in their life, learn self-compassion, & connect with their authentic voice. Through trauma-informed therapy, I guide individuals, couples, & groups toward healing from trauma & isolation. Clarify your needs and intentions, move in the direction of your goals, explore your gender, sexuality, identity and relationships.

Unresolved trauma affects us deeply. Are you feeling numb, shut down or agitated and on high alert? If this resonates, most of us have experienced a traumatic event - what makes the difference in how you recover is the kind of support you have in your life. Experiencing trauma, abuse or neglect often leaves us with fewer internal resources to deal with the impact. This can lead to unhealthy ways of dealing with the pain such as addictions, depression, destructive relationships, isolation. Using modern therapy modalities (IFS), I can help you process your pain and find joy again. Please reach out, let me help guide you to healing.
