Maybe you grew up being told who you were supposed to be, and you're finally asking who you actually are. Maybe you left the church and nobody warned you grief would be part of the deal. Maybe your relationships don't fit the standard shape and you're tired of therapists who treat that like the problem. Maybe you're just exhausted, anxious, and ready for something to shift. Whatever brought you here, you deserve a space where you don't have to translate yourself.
My work is trauma-informed, queer-affirming, and grounded in both clinical training and lived experience. I'm someone who genuinely enjoys sitting in the discomfort with people, creating the kind of space where maybe no one else has been willing to sit with them before. We'll move at your pace, build safety first, and then get into the patterns underneath.
You can expect to leave therapy more resilient, clearer on your own values, and a lot kinder to yourself. I offer a free 15-minute consultation. Call, Text, or sign up through the website to schedule.

I work with anxiety, depression, trauma, & the kind of life transitions that send you into survival. Many of my clients are processing religious trauma, navigating identity, repairing their relationship with their bodies and desires, or figuring out what healthy non-monogamy actually looks like in practice. We'll identify patterns, build skills, and do deeper work of healing the wounds underneath.

I draw from CBT, DBT, EMDR, compassion-focused, narrative work, & family systems, but the method matters less than the fit. With trauma especially, we'll build trust & resourcing before doing harder material. EMDR or any deeper processing happens when you're ready, not on a timeline. Sessions feel collaborative and honest. You'll walk away with practical tools and a clearer sense of who you are.
