Are you tired of trying to fit into boxes that were never built for you? My ideal clients are high-achieving cycle-breakers, LGBTQ+ folks, and individuals healing from strict religious environments. They come to us exhausted by old shame, systemic stress, and the pressure to be perfect. I am here to help you move forward by honoring your lived experience and your body's wisdom. Together we can move beyond a rigid talk therapy, we use an integrative blend of somatic awareness, IFS, and EMDR to help you regulate your nervous system, transform deep-rooted survival habits, and step into authentic, unshakable joy

We specialize in religious trauma, anxiety, relationship issues, and queer/kink-affirming care. We offer deep, somatic body-based tools and IFS to heal your nervous system. I accept UnitedHealthcare (UHC) Optum, Oscar, UMR, and Private Pay across all licensed states. For Georgia residents, I also accept BCBS, Aetna, Cigna, and Humana

Leaving environments or habits that once kept you safe can feel terrifying. But you have been the strong one for long enough—you deserve a compassionate space to lay down your armor. You don't have to navigate this heavy weight or figure it out alone. If you're ready to break old cycles and reclaim your peace, I invite you to reach out to us today.
