Are you feeling frozen in fear of the unknown? Has a traumatic event halted your ability to cope with life? Are life transitions just difficult to process? As a empathetic and trauma-informed therapist, I meet you where you are at in life. Together, we'll navigate life's challenges with a focus on self-discovery and empowerment. I am LGBTQIA+ & Neurodivergent affirming. I do accept insurance, see below for which ones!

I’m here for the heartbreaks, the healing, and the “how did we get here?” moments. I specialize in interracial love, divorce, and relational wounds—with warmth, humor, and zero judgment. Let’s sit in the mess, sort it out, and help you feel more like you again.

Thinking about therapy? Even if you're just curious or feeling a little lost, go ahead and reach out. Finding the right therapist is like finding the right sweater—safe, warm, and fits just right. I’d be honored to be that cozy space for you. Let’s take that first, brave (and totally human) step together.

Grieving Through Art

Hosted by

Kelsey Cardin

This group allows participants to process grief through creative expression and storytelling. By recreating a meaningful photo (prepared by the therapist into a personalized paint-by-number canvas), participants participants externalize memories, honor loved ones, and engage in storytelling that fosters connection, meaning-making, and continuing bonds. This process helps normalize the ongoing nature of grief while supporting regulation and community healing.
