Living with a medical condition is exhausting. You've probably learned that even getting the care you need feels like a full-time job - appointments, advocating for yourself, and explaining your story over and over. You don't need to carry the weight of it on your own. I help people with chronic pain, chronic illness and complex medical disorders navigate the stress that symptoms place on the mind and body. My approach focuses on the nervous system and how patterns of stress can amplify symptoms. Together we work to calm the system, process what you’ve been through, and help your body move out of constant high alert.

Sex, though so often experienced in silence, is can be impacted by and impact all facets of life. Because of that, my clients are often feeling disconnected, anxious about their desire, or unsure how to communicate what they really need in sex or relationships. They want to understand why things feel “off,” why intimacy feels harder than it used to, or why they can’t seem to get on the same page with their partner. They’re seeking clarity, confidence, and a way back to feeling chosen, desired, and understood. Most of all, they want a safe place to explore their sexual self without shame.

Just as you don't click with every person you meet in the world, you won't mesh with every therapist. And I want to make sure you have a good experience in therapy! As a career changer myself, I work well with professionals who are feeling stuck in certain areas of their life and can't seem to figure it out with the same tools they have used in the past. I love to assist people in mobilizing strengths they already have (like being analytical) and building new capacities (like sitting with tough emotions and listening to the body). Trauma, relationships, family dynamics, identity, and sexual concerns come up a lot in our sessions.

We all reach moments when the weight we carry feels too heavy, when old patterns no longer serve us, or when we’re simply longing for more peace, connection, or clarity. Sometimes we feel stuck between who we’ve been and who we’re becoming. At The Healing Collective, we honor these moments as sacred turning points. We walk this path too; navigating healing, holding space for each other, and creating room to breathe, feel, and begin again. Healing is a shared process, and you don’t have to do it alone.
