Hi there! I'm Tori. Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, anger, or shame as you look at where you are in life? Do you feel like an outsider in your own story, unsure of where you belong? Are you finding yourself holding back parts of yourself, wondering how others would respond if you showed up as your authentic self? If you're feeling weighed down by expectations or questioning whether the roles you are in reflect who you want to be, you're in the right place. I offer a supportive, nonjudgmental space for you to challenge these life transitions and identity shifts as you shape a life that feels more aligned with who you are.
I bring 13 years of experience making people feel supported, heard, empowered, and comfy in tackling the uncomfy. I specialize in anxiety, depression, and panic, as well as in women’s and LGBTQIA+ issues, including gender identity and dysphoria. I’m also passionate about working with veterans, service members, and military families.
I approach therapy with empathy, curiosity, and humor, and utilize CBT, DBT, Mindfulness, and a strengths-based lens. I also incorporate Radical Therapy, recognizing how the world around us impacts our well-being. Together, we’ll build insight, confidence, and meaningful change. Reach out today to begin being your authentic self!
