I also specialize in recovery from coercive control, including high demand religions (especially the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints/LDS/Mormonism), narcissistic abuse, and cults, both religious & secular.
Have you tried traditional talk therapy and find yourself hitting a plateau?

I specialize in helping people find the breakthroughs they desire through an eclectic approach, including trauma-based therapy, somatic parts work, and psychedelic assisted therapy (currently utilizing ketamine).

I also believe that we can make some sense out of our feelings by examining past relationships. With this awareness we can begin to look at your current feelings and relationships. In a non-judgmental environment, come as you are. We will approach this together.

Life's challenges, past traumas or present stresses, can make us feel very overwhelmed. Deeply affecting our lives, relationships, and overall well-being. But you don't have to navigate it alone! I support adults in navigating trauma, life transitions, relationship issues, family conflicts, loss, depression, and anxiety, often focusing on how childhood trauma influences adulthood. Together we’ll decipher the intricate patterns of behavior that may be holding you back and grapple with hard emotions. By letting things unravel, past and present experiences, you will rediscover yourself and create the path towards transformative change.

You're trying your hardest to feel connected to your loved one(s) but instead you end up feeling the opposite. You're tired of overthinking and missing the mark. You might be experiencing the "what ifs" as I call them: "What if my partner is unable to meet my needs? Maybe they don't care to...What if breaking up is the best thing? Do they even love me?" I want you to wake up excited to spend the day with your partner...and actually enjoy the day together! Without any casual conversations turned fights, without avoiding intimacy, without constantly triggering one another. Healthy communication not only exists, it's within your reach.
