If you're feeling disconnected or struggling with relationships or daily life, know you're not alone. Many of the people I work with have experienced childhood trauma, neglect, emotional abuse, or moments of feeling detached, distant, or “checked out” from themselves or the world. Healing doesn’t have to be faced alone—it’s okay to show up just as you are, with all the complexities that come with it. Together, we’ll explore what feels overwhelming, slowly and expansively, allowing space for healing at your own pace.
We can approach trauma gently and collaboratively, using a mix of talk therapy, somatic practices, and expressive arts—or whatever feels right for you. Together, we create space for healing and support you in processing and releasing the emotional and physical effects of trauma.
Taking the first step toward healing can be hard, especially if this isn’t the first time. I offer affirming, trauma-informed care for women, non-binary, and trans individuals. My practice supports LGBTQIA+, TNBGE, and neurodivergent people ready to explore a new path forward.
