I specialize in supporting chronically ill, neurodiverse, and LGBTQIA+ adults feel less anxious, heal from trauma, and build healthy relationships.

Your body might be tired, but your mind can’t stop spinning. You use up your spoons to show up for others and hope that you'll feel supported in return but instead, you're still feeling drained, anxious, or lonely. Thoughts like "What if I need too much?” and "What's wrong with me?" gnaw at you. You might feel frustrated that negative past experiences get in the way of you feeling in control and present in your own body and mind, whether you’re with a partner, at the doctors office, or trying to relax alone. You may want to cry or hide when thinking about bringing up hard conversations with loved ones about what you need to feel understood and supported, so for now, your needs go un-expressed and unmet. You know it’s time for some extra support and a fresh perspective.

Here’s what you can expect from working with me:

With Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), you’ll practice self-acceptance and self-compassion as we notice the impact of your thought patterns on your relationships, your physical health, and your self-image.

Using trauma-informed therapies like Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) and Internal Family Systems (IFS), you’ll build skills to cope with the out-of-control feelings caused by upsetting reminders of the past and reprocess traumatic memories that feel stuck in your brain so that you can finally enjoy emotional safety and wholeness.

Through Relationally-focused Narrative Therapy, you’ll challenge the negative, limited, and often downright oppressive narratives that the has world convinced you about your brain and your body that have held you back from trusting yourself.

You deserve to feel confident and calm, in mind and in body.

I’d love to help you in getting there.
