Hello, I'm Ruby! I am here to be your biggest cheerleader, thought untangler, and copilot through the ups and downs of life. My approach is both warm and direct, creating a safe space for open dialogue and exploration. You will walk away from our time together with tangible tools to help you understand yourself better and shift the thought and behaviors patterns that do not serve you or your relationships. Together we will address core wounds to allow you to approach yourself with compassion and adapt healthy coping strategies so you can move forward effectively in your life.
Everyone needs somethings different, which is why my approach is adaptable and can evolve to fit your needs as we go deeper into the therapeutic process. That being said, I bring expertise in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), parts work, and a strengths-based approach.
You don’t have to face this alone. Many of my clients come in feeling lost, overwhelmed, or unsure of what’s next. If you’re ready to feel more grounded, explore parts of yourself that need care, and move forward with confidence, let’s connect. I’d be honored to be a part of your healing process. Schedule a free consult call and see if we’re the right fit!

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression, anxiety, and trauma (often times all three). During our initial sessions we will begin history taking, discuss desired outcomes for treatment, and identify how mental health symptoms are manifesting in your life currently. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month or two and reach stabilization thereafter.

I often use some combination of CBT, parts work, and EMDR. CBT helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Parts Work explores your inner system of emotions and roles to build self-understanding and compassion. EMDR uses bilateral stimulation to process and heal trauma, reducing emotional distress tied to past experiences.
