I am a queer, trans, autistic, trauma informed therapist. I place heavy emphasis on radical acceptance with all clients. My sessions are a judgement-free, fully accepting space. I also emphasize accountability and a realistic outlook on personal actions & emotions. We will work on both accepting and understanding the emotional responses happening and will work to create a more stable mental state by acknowledging when responses are based in reality versus based on internal struggles. I am a big advocate for psychoeducation and often find people can better process emotions and traumas when they understand the scientific basis.

My clients are high performers, athletes, entrepreneurs, and professionals who are driven, successful, and under pressure to always “be on.” They struggle with anxiety, burnout, self-doubt, or feeling misunderstood despite their achievements. They want to perform at a high level while feeling more balanced, fulfilled, and connected in their personal lives. They’re looking for tools to manage stress, navigate low emotional states, and build healthier relationships.

Are you a high-achieving individual who works hard to mask your tender emotions and meet expectations, all the while holding a deep loneliness inside? Do you wonder if you are the problem, because on-paper everything looks, "great," in your life but you feel frequently overwhelmed or dissatisfied? As a queer, neurodivergent trauma-survivor, I bring the wisdom of my lived experiences to bear in our clinical work together. I have learned in my own journey that avoidance of our deepest pain inevitably leads to disconnection; leaning into the invitation of our hearts leads to connection, and thus, healing.

My approach is to meet the people where they are and provide a safe space so that healing can happen. I work with the client to establish their goals and help them find ways to reach those desired goals. I have many years of experience working with first responders and am culturally sensitive. I understand the unique needs of first responders as it relates to trauma, crisis, PTSD, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, job-related stress, job security, suicide, life transition to retirement, etc. I know how difficult it can be to reach out to a therapist and you want to be sure that they understand your work and life culture.

MEN - We juggle a lot: work, school, relationships, kids, health, stress, you name, and those things aren’t supposed to bother us. For a time, we can handle just about anything thrown at us. That is until we can't! The facade will crumble; our masks will crack; it's just a matter of time. At least that's my story! How about you? We look one way, feel another, all while stuffing what's really going on deep down and out of sight. We begin to unravel and that’s when we turn to things that help us numb, check-out and regulate. In retrospect, those things worked well...for a time! But now they're just causing us problems and heartache.

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.
