If you’ve tried therapy before and left feeling unseen, overwhelmed, or stuck — you’re not alone. Insight isn’t always enough. Talking about your past isn’t the same as healing your nervous system.
I specialize in working with adults who feel stuck in patterns that won’t shift — trauma responses, relationship dynamics, chronic self-doubt, emotional shutdown, or feeling overwhelmed by their own reactions. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside and exhausted on the inside. My approach is trauma-informed and parts-oriented.

Life is an ever-changing journey with many people facing ever-changing pitfalls and struggles. Society continues to push barriers onto people, making it hard to sustain and thrive. Due to various reasons, people find themselves struggling with low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and other issues reinforcing unwanted and old patterns. Ideally, I am looking for people who want to make change, even if they feel resistant to the idea right now. Personally, I look to help those individuals who are at least contemplating growth, change, and coming out of the self-constructed safety box.

This constant anxiety, followed by crippling bouts of trauma is preventing you from living your life. Everyone can be hard on themselves, but your mind has become downright violent.

You don’t have to explain why things feel harder than they should. You’re not too sensitive, too intense, or too complicated. Therapy should feel like a place where you can breathe, not perform.
Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, self-aware adults who have spent years adapting, masking, or second-guessing themselves. Some have lived through trauma, complicated relationships, or longstanding mood struggles. Some recognize ADHD or autistic patterns in themselves. Many have tried therapy before and still felt misunderstood.

FAQ - Native American Therapists
What are the advantages of seeing a Native American therapist?
Therapists are trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of mental health conditions through various forms of talk therapy and behavioral interventions. Building a strong therapeutic relationship is an essential part of feeling supported and understood in care. For many Native American individuals, working with a provider who shares or respects their cultural background can foster a deeper sense of trust and connection in the therapeutic process. Native American therapists may be especially well-equipped to address topics such as historical trauma, intergenerational grief, and cultural identity—factors that can significantly shape the mental health experiences of Native American clients. These providers may also be knowledgeable about and incorporate Indigenous healing traditions, which can be beneficial for clients seeking this approach. Additionally, Native American therapists may be more familiar with community resources, support networks, or other culturally-aligned providers who can offer further support.
How to find a Native American therapist?
Psychology Today’s online directory is a useful tool for finding a Native American therapist. You can filter for providers who identify as Native American or who mention working with Indigenous populations and highlight cultural competence in their profiles. Look for signs such as experience with tribal communities, familiarity with Native traditions, or a focus on trauma-informed care. Depending on your preferences and needs, it may also be important to ask whether a provider offers telehealth, which therapeutic approaches they use, and whether they accept your insurance. If you're unable to find a therapist who personally identifies as Native American, you may also consider providers who have experience working with Native clients or who demonstrate a clear commitment to cultural humility and respect for Native American beliefs and traditions. You might also consider a blended approach—for example, seeing a therapist for talk therapy while also seeing a Native healer or counselor for more culturally-specific support.
