Many of us struggle at one time or another with feeling down or anxious. Sometimes those feelings can become overwhelming and may require extra support. Whether it's family crisis, chronic pain/illness, job stress, trauma, relationship conflict, or mental health challenges, you may find yourself feeling isolated, unheard, and invalidated. You might struggle to find a way to cope. This is where I can help! Through therapy, I can provide a fresh perspective and help identify maladaptive patterns that may be interfering with your ability to live a peaceful and fulfilled life.

It is my privilege and joy to help clients overcome obstacles that impede their path to the achievement of their overall well being. I have worked with diverse populations spanning the age range from 6 to 92. I enjoy working with clients to address their developmental and adult traumas, and the wide range of associated co-morbid symptoms and diagnoses. Problems with interpersonal relationships are often the foundation of mental health issues. I work with individuals, couples and families and I take the time to understand the problems with which they present, and the goals to which they aspire.

Starting therapy can feel uncomfortable, especially if you are used to handling things on your own. You may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or wanting a space to talk openly and feel understood. I am a Marriage and Family Therapy student intern completing my clinical training under the supervision of a licensed therapist. I value honest connection and approach therapy as a collaborative process, with attention to emotions and relationships. My goal is to offer a calm, supportive space where you can slow down, reflect, and move forward at your own pace. You don't need to have everything figured out to get started.

Are you hurting so much that you're wondering if living is really worth all this pain? It hurts so bad that it feels physical; you can feel it in your gut. You don't let those closest to you know what's going on because no one gets it; no one can help. Sometimes you feel completely out of place, like you don't belong here. Everything hurts so much and you can't stand it anymore. You keep looking for ways to take it all away. You don't deserve to hurt like this anymore. And you don't have to. It's time to take control of your emotions so your emotions stop controlling you.

Life does not slow down when you need it to. Do you feel scattered, unworthy, or uncertain? Maybe you have lost something or someone—or you live in fear of it happening. Pressure is building & coming at you from all directions, even yourself, and you can’t manage it all. Whatever challenge or chapter in life you are facing, you do not have to tackle it alone. This is your time to choose to slow down, to pause for yourself and what matters most to you. I can help you do that.

Many of the people I work with have been carrying stress, trauma, or relational wounds for a long time - sometimes without fully realizing how much it has shaped them. This includes supporting those recovering from - or currently navigating - narcissistic, emotionally manipulative, or coercive relationship dynamics where boundaries may have been repeatedly dismissed or under-minded. Trauma can blur boundaries and disrupt your ability to trust your own internal signals. Together, we create enough safety and stability for your nervous system to settle - because when you feel calmer, your brain can think more clearly.

You’re doing your best—but something keeps getting in the way. Anxiety, relationship patterns, or past experiences may still be shaping how you feel and respond. I specialize in helping adults and couples who feel stuck in cycles that don’t make sense—especially when rooted in unresolved trauma. Using EMDR and practical, evidence-based strategies, we go beyond insight to create real change. Together, we’ll identify what’s holding you back, process what needs resolution, and build new ways of responding so you can feel more in control, connected, and grounded.

My clients are typically between the ages of 18 and 60. They are typically, but not exclusively, queer, trans, polyamorous, neurodivergent, or exploring identities. Clients come to me to receive skills, tools, and processing from someone who shares one or more of my identities. I work a lot with both couples, individuals, and the occasional group who are seeking direction or accountability help with polyamory and/or Ethical Non-Monogamy. I also work with a lot of survivors of religious trauma.
