You may not have words for what you are carrying. You only know something feels heavy, stuck, or out of alignment. Maybe it is anxiety that lives in your body before it reaches your mind. Trauma that shaped you in ways you are still uncovering. Relationships where your needs go unmet. For the teen who feels too much, thinks too deeply, and wonders why the world doesn't quite fit — this is also for you. I work with adolescents and adults navigating depression, life transitions, burnout, and the quiet erosion of self-worth that happens when we spend too long living for others.

As an Indigenous person, the following praxis guides me:
1) It is my job to ensure you don't need me anymore. We work with intention. 2) A co-dependent relationship is not the goal, thus not all medicine is sweet or nice. We will confront your shadow self radically, without rushing your healing journey. 3) Healing is not about guilt, blame or shame. It is about responsibility, relationship, respect, & reciprocity.

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.
