I am a trauma therapist and love working with queer folks, creatives, and neuro-spicy minds. I am affirming to poly/enm, kink, and all genders/sexual identities - you are seen and celebrated here! I specialize in childhood trauma and dysfunction, religious trauma and deconstruction, sexual and relational trauma. You may be experiencing shame, guilt, or believe your too much and not enough all at once. Maybe you want to feel whole again, but aren’t sure where to start. While we can't erase the hard things that have happened to you, you're not defined by your hardest days nor do they determine what you’re capable of achieving.

Sometimes difficult thoughts, feelings, and experiences take us away from the life we want to live. It may not seem clear how therapy can help. I provide a non-judgmental and secure space where, together, we can clarify your goals and develop a treatment plan. My approach to therapy is grounded in evidence-based clinical practices. Combining behavioral and mindfulness-based modalities, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Exposure and Response Prevention, I help clients develop insight and take action in order to live engaged, meaningful lives.

I believe in you. And I believe that everyone deserves to live a life full of meaning, purpose, hope, dignity and respect. We are all more than the worst things that have been done to us, and we are more than the worst things we have done. As a therapist, I create a space where it's safe to explore your story, and where you are encouraged to discover, grow, & give voice to your true self. Also, for those who are interested, I am able to incorporate my training as spiritual director to provide a non-judgmental space beyond ideology, that explores one's spiritual story, in order to provide full body, mind, and soul care.

My practice focuses on women and teen girls working through anxiety, trauma, relational issues, and self-esteem/identity concerns. I provide a safe space for authenticity and welcome all cultural backgrounds, sexual orientations, & spiritualities.

Do you often feel like you are not meeting your own standards? Do you feel stuck in uncertainty, unable to move in the best direction? Is it hard for you to feel satisfied? Do you desire more fulfilling relationships with others? Growing up, you may have encountered people who were critical of your performance / appearance, and who burdened you with unrealistic expectations. This can make it difficult for you to feel happy with your achievements and quiet your inner critic. You may be numbing some of the pain with unhealthy choices that are starting to feel just as inescapable. If this resonates, therapy could be a good next step.

Many of us struggle with defenses and behaviors we have developed in order to escape the pain of our lives, whether it be in the form of substances, food, sex/relationships, work, perfectionism, dissociation, or something else, and in our understandable attempts to avoid this pain we become disconnected from our authentic self and body in the process. As a result, we can often wind up creating even more suffering for ourselves and begin to not only numb the pain, but the joys as well.

As you grew up and made your way through the world, you may have found yourself disconnected. You may have been told that who you are isn't okay and needs to be changed to be acceptable. You may have found that your relationships don't feel as satisfying as you hoped they would be. You may, as a result, find yourself with that nagging feeling that no matter what, you're somehow too much and not enough all at the same time. As your therapist, I want to help you get back in touch with who you are so you can live more authentically into your values, identity, and desires.
