You aren’t broken, and you don’t have to carry it all on your own.

Life has a way of weathering us. Maybe you’ve spent years being the capable one—holding everything together, adapting to expectations, masking, over-functioning, or becoming fiercely independent because you had to. Maybe those strategies helped you survive, but now leave you exhausted, disconnected, or unsure how to feel safe enough to simply be yourself.

You aren’t trying to “get back to who you were before.” There is no before—only the person you survived to become, and the version of you waiting to feel safe enough to exist fully.

I work with adults navigating complex trauma, PTSD, neurodivergence and AuDHD, chronic illness, burnout, religious deconstruction, and the complicated intersections between them. I especially value working with people whose experiences don’t fit neatly into one box—people who have spent years wondering whether they are too much, too sensitive, too complicated, or somehow getting life wrong.

My approach is warm, somatic, holistic, and deeply collaborative. I draw from EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS)/Parts Work, Somatic Expression, and DBT to help you understand your nervous system, make sense of internal conflict, and develop greater self-trust and choice. I believe survival responses deserve curiosity rather than shame, and that healing doesn’t require erasing the parts of you that kept you going.

I also make room for the identities, relationships, and systems that shape our lives. My practice is LGBTQ+ affirming, poly/ENM-affirming, and sex- and kink-positive. I welcome exploration of spirituality and religious deconstruction, including connection to cosmic, earth-based, or alternative spiritual paths. I recognize that trauma, neurodivergence, chronic illness, relationships, spirituality, and identity can profoundly influence one another.

Therapy with me isn’t about fixing you or turning you into someone new. You are the expert in your story. My role is to offer a space where you can bring your whole self without leaving any piece at the door—to understand what you’ve survived, honor what your body and your parts have been trying to communicate, and create a life that feels genuinely like your own.
