We each have a unique story but truly there are very few unique problems. The lie that we so often tell ourselves is that we are alone. This isolation and shame often keep us from living wholeheartedly and finding the connection with others we deeply desire. We have parts waiting to be seen, heard, and healed. In exploring those parts and seeing ourselves, we find the power to validate, challenge, and grow. My commitment in my practice is to create a safe space for you to explore your story without judgment. To walk alongside you as you create and empower the change you want to see in yourself and your relationships.

You’ve spent so much time prioritizing others that you’ve lost sight of yourself. Maybe you’ve endured emotional abuse, struggled with a narcissistic partner, or felt trapped in toxic family dynamics. You’ve read the books, tried to set boundaries, and told yourself things would change—but somehow, you always end up back in the same cycle. Speaking up feels impossible, and survival mode has become your default. You’re exhausted from walking on eggshells and wondering if your needs even matter. Deep down, you know you deserve more, but breaking free from old patterns feels overwhelming. You know it’s time to reclaim your voice.

I want to make sure that the client and I are a fit when it comes to rapport. That looks like feeling comfortable sharing content that might cause uncomfortableness due to fearing judgment. If established in the first meeting, I feel confident in working with those with anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, self-harming behaviors, family conflicts, grief, and performance issues in school, sports, or career (to name a few). I believe the treatment models that I use can build their resilience to deal with past, current, and future challenges.

What are the advantages of seeing a Native American therapist?
Therapists are trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of mental health conditions through various forms of talk therapy and behavioral interventions. Building a strong therapeutic relationship is an essential part of feeling supported and understood in care. For many Native American individuals, working with a provider who shares or respects their cultural background can foster a deeper sense of trust and connection in the therapeutic process.
Native American therapists may be especially well-equipped to address topics such as historical trauma, intergenerational grief, and cultural identity—factors that can significantly shape the mental health experiences of Native American clients. These providers may also be knowledgeable about and incorporate Indigenous healing traditions, which can be beneficial for clients seeking this approach. Additionally, Native American therapists may be more familiar with community resources, support networks, or other culturally-aligned providers who can offer further support.

How to find a Native American therapist?
Psychology Today’s online directory is a useful tool for finding a Native American therapist. You can filter for providers who identify as Native American or who mention working with Indigenous populations and highlight cultural competence in their profiles. Look for signs such as experience with tribal communities, familiarity with Native traditions, or a focus on trauma-informed care. Depending on your preferences and needs, it may also be important to ask whether a provider offers telehealth, which therapeutic approaches they use, and whether they accept your insurance.
If you're unable to find a therapist who personally identifies as Native American, you may also consider providers who have experience working with Native clients or who demonstrate a clear commitment to cultural humility and respect for Native American beliefs and traditions. You might also consider a blended approach—for example, seeing a therapist for talk therapy while also seeing a Native healer or counselor for more culturally-specific support.
