I love working with people that are in the midst of the "dark night of the soul." Those that are struggling with grief, profound pain, debilitating anxiety or depression, any form of suffering, or major transitions in life that have left them confused or lost. These clients want peace and calm. They want to discover meaning in life, find their joy once again, and possibly searching for their purpose in life. Some want to learn to regulate a dysregulated nervous system or stop constant fearful thinking. Therefore, I integrate spirituality using the Eckhart Tolle method and behavior psychology to help them relieve their suffering.

They help clients reconnect with Indigenous roots, explore relationship styles and boundaries, and navigate gender and sexuality within LGBTQIA+, sex work, and kink communities—all while actively dismantling white supremacy culture.
Seeking a space that honors your identity and your community? Vee offers a strengths-based telehealth practice rooted in liberation frameworks—an environment that is gender-affirming, sex-positive, and polyamorous-allied. Their approach moves beyond the isolated journey of traditional therapy, instead focusing on the vital links between the individual, community, and the environment. Together, you’ll co-create a practice built on curiosity, authenticity, and compassion. You'll learn somatic and cognitive tools to navigate life’s complexities and find the path to live the authentic life you want and deserve.

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself? Do you find yourself trapped in negative patterns or caught in the grip of self-judgment, unable to break free? Do you feel like something isn’t right, or disconnected from your body or emotions, it can be hard to know where to begin. You're not alone—together, we can start the gentle process of healing and recovery. It may feel impossible now, but I often think of this quote by Eleanor Roosevelt: "Do the thing you think you cannot do." By taking the step to reach out, you’re choosing to open the door to a safe, nurturing space where you will be valued and supported.

You may come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself, stuck in survival mode, or exhausted from constantly adapting to environments that do not fully see or support you. I work with individuals navigating trauma, multicultural identity, neurodivergence, disability, anxiety, burnout, and life transitions. Together, we create a supportive and collaborative space to process experiences, strengthen self-understanding, improve relationships, and reconnect with the parts of yourself that may have been overlooked, silenced, or pushed aside.

You don't have to be in crisis to reach out. Most clients come to AnchorWell when something's been building for a while — the weight of motherhood that no one prepared them for, a marriage that feels harder than it used to, anxiety that won't quiet down, or a season of life where they don't quite recognize themselves. Our team supports women navigating postpartum adjustment, parents in the middle of hard transitions, and couples who want to reconnect. You may not have the words for exactly what's wrong yet. That's enough to start — we'll figure it out together.

Maybe you have been carrying a lot for a long time. You might feel disconnected from your emotions, shaped by complex trauma, mother wounds, or the tension of navigating identity as a biracial person. Many of my clients are teens and women who learned to shrink, stay quiet, or disconnect to survive. Now they want something different. They want to understand themselves, feel safer in their bodies, and take up space in their lives without apologizing for who they are.

Has life has started to feel heavy? The tension in your home feels constant, your teen is pulling away, or your relationship no longer feels safe or connected. Old wounds might keep showing up in new ways even when you try to move forward. You have tried staying strong, keeping busy, or staying quiet, but something inside you knows it is time for change. You want peace, connection, and practical tools to help things feel whole again, not perfect but real and healthy.

My ideal client is a high-functioning individual or couple who appears successful on the outside but feels anxious, disconnected, or unfulfilled on the inside, especially in their intimate or relational life. They may be navigating sexual concerns, desire discrepancies, intrusive thoughts, relationship stress, or identity shifts during major life transitions. They want more than coping skills; they want depth, discretion, and a sex-positive, trauma-informed therapist who understands both emotional and relational dynamics. Their goal is lasting regulation, authentic connection, and a grounded sense of self-trust.

You can live the life you want, not the one you’ve been surviving. Seeking therapy often comes at a time when things feel misaligned, overwhelming, or unresolved, and I deeply honor the courage it takes to begin that process. I approach my work with compassion, insight, and intention and believe therapy should be a space where you feel inspired to reclaim your voice and deepen your self-understanding. Therapy is an investment in yourself and, as a collaborative partner, you will be an active participant in your own recovery.

FAQ - Native American Therapists
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.
