Many women spend years carrying things they've never said out loud. Some are navigating the end of a relationship or a version of their life they didn't expect to leave behind. Some are trying to understand why they keep ending up in the same patterns, or or what they want now that the life they imagined no longer fits. Others are working through a major transition - a loss, a new chapter, a shift in who they are. And some are sitting with questions about their bodies, their desire, or beliefs about themselves absorbed over a lifetime. Together, we can make sense of those experiences and build something more honest in their place.

I enjoy working with members of the LGBTQIA+ community, neurodiversity, disordered eating, trauma, identity exploration, and sex/intimacy concerns.
I approach all of my work from a trauma sensitive, kink positive, and HAES centered stance. In addition, I incorporate elements of narrative, solutions focused, and attachment based therapies into my practice. My purpose as a therapist is to hold space where clients can embrace and embody their authentic voice while growing and strengthening our communities.

I love working with clients who are curious to see what life looks like on the other side of "stuck." Trauma, depression, anxiety, and so many other things that bring us to therapy, often feel so overwhelming and insurmountable, we don't know what to do or where to start. If you're feeling "stuck," you're not alone. I’ve found that the parts of ourselves we most want to keep hidden are the parts that need to be seen and loved before we can begin to heal. You can do the messy and hard work of giving yourself permission to be seen and loved.

When you cut a tree down and look at the growth rings added every year, you can see the way fire, water, wind, and people have impacted its life each year. I believe that people are no different. Our environment shapes us, and nevertheless we grow. Some years are harder than others, but even within the hard years, growth takes place.

If you are someone who feels like you have lost parts of yourself along the way, you’re in the right place. Maybe a relationship, career, motherhood, or another big life change has left you questioning who you are now or where you go from here. Maybe from the outside things seem okay, but internally you feel disconnected from yourself. My passion is helping clients reconnect with their identity and recognize the strengths they already carry. A lot of my work is strengths based, while also exploring the experiences and patterns that have shaped who you are today.

You want more—more connection, more clarity, more meaning. Somewhere along the way, life taught you to survive- by disconnecting, overthinking, shrinking, pleasing, controlling, or numbing. These patterns may have protected you, but now they’re keeping you stuck: stuck in unfulfilling relationships, in anxiety that won’t quiet, in a constant feeling that something is missing, even if everything “looks fine” on the outside. Whether you're navigating a relationship that feels off, starting over after a major change, or just trying to understand why life feels heavy or unfulfilling, you're not alone.

Poet Geoffrey Chaucer wrote, "time heals all wounds." You're probably searching this site because you have discovered this is not the full truth. The path to healing requires focusing some time and attention on the wounds you carry. Woundedness is the soul's voice demanding to be attended to rather than quieted. The therapeutic relationship is a conduit through which you discover your innate ability to attend to your soul and ultimately find healing.
