If you're exhausted from being "too much" or "not enough," this is for you. I work with teen girls, women, LGBTQ+, and trans clients in HI, AZ, WA, NC, and SC (telehealth only). Support for identity, fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, and midlife. If therapy has helped you understand your trauma but you still feel it in your body, you're not broken. You're stuck in old survival wiring. I use ART and other trauma-informed methods to help your brain finally let go of what it's been holding, not just talk about it again. Insurance accepted in HI, AZ, and WA. Send your plan and I'll check your coverage first.
I use ART, a fast-acting method that helps your brain let go of trauma without having to relive it in detail. I also draw on Brainspotting, EMDR, and IFS as needed. My focus is neurodivergent, teen girls, women, LGBTQ+, and trans clients navigating identity, fertility, postpartum, and midlife shifts.
You don't have to keep pushing through alone, and you don't have to have it all figured out before reaching out. If any of this feels familiar, that's enough of a reason to start. Therapy can meet you exactly where you are, at your own pace, without judgment.

These are the treatment types I use, and this is what your experience will be like: I primarily use ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy), along with Brainspotting, DBR, EMDR, ACT, and IFS as needed. Sessions are collaborative, not scripted. You won't have to relive trauma in detail. We move at your pace, focusing on real relief instead of endless talking.
