My primary focus is in providing more “bottom-up” interventions from EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy to assist individuals in reprocessing and healing from trauma.
Over the course of my career as a clinical social worker, I have focused my work on providing LGBTQI-affirming psychotherapy to individuals who have experienced trauma, in its many interpersonal and systemic forms. As a white queer nonbinary femme therapist, I continue to educate myself on the privileges and power dynamics inherent in my own social position in relation to my clients, and I openly work from an anti-oppression framework.

I’m a compassionate, trauma-informed, EMDR therapist with expertise in healing from narcissistic relationships.
Most people who seek out therapy with me struggle with a narcissistic relationship that is no longer manageable. At first, many of us find narcissists to be charming or misunderstood, but over time these relationships make us feel isolated, hopeless, and resentful. Once we learn how to identify narcissistic behavior, we realize something has to change. If you have difficulty creating distance from the narcissist, you are not alone. Therapy can help. During your sessions, we will work together to heal the past trauma, take your life back, and build strong boundaries for the future.

In my practice I also provide trainings and workshops for providers, educators and consumers with several areas of focus: Social Justice; LGBT and gender; trauma and PTSD Disability and Ableism.
It is a brave thing to seek out resources for healing and change. In my years of practice I have come to understand that the right therapy connection generates the power and possibility of cultivating our best selves. I work extensively with people who have survived trauma, redefined (dis)ability and come into LGBT community. I work with diverse relationship and family structures.
I can help you identify what you most need and support you in building the strengths and resources to get it. In our work together we can create a space for you to survive and thrive.

I see individuals from all walks of life who are struggling with a variety of mental health challenges, folks who want to facilitate meaningful change in their lives, and people who are seeking relief from the chronic stress of their daily routine, due to their work environment, relationship or parenting difficulties, or living in a world that feels overwhelming, isolating, or oppressive. I have extensive experience in supporting healthcare providers as well as individuals who have experienced trauma, particularly in the childhood years.

People find this perspective particularly helpful in working with anxiety, depression, trauma, sleep, and pain.
Welcome! Meaningful change and lasting healing happen through the co-creation of safe therapeutic spaces. Together, we can develop your capacity not only to feel better, but to be healthier. Understanding yourself is a powerful source of transformation and development. However, insight alone is not always enough to create psychological healing. I work with people to generate deep insight but also to create a new way of being and feeling in the world. For these purposes, I often incorporate both experiential and mind/brain/body therapies.

I offer an empathetic and attuned relationship, resourced in Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), CBT, Motivational Interviewing, a variety of trauma-focused interventions, and mind-body practices.
My practice prioritizes those in transitional seasons - young adults leaving home for the first time, new mothers seeking support as they adjust to parenthood, women desiring clarity on next steps in career or romantic relationships, and couples hoping to shift relational dynamics. I inspire clients to gain greater awareness of their needs and how to meet those needs in healthy and holistic ways. I am practical and solution-focused while also honoring the impact of developmental and cultural experiences that often take time and careful insight to understand.

I have certificates in TF-CBT, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Trauma and the Roots of Infidelity.
More than half of my clients are couple's seeking help to navigate difficult conflicts in their relationship. Many are seeking support and guidance healing from the trauma of infidelity. Other couples are hoping to improve their connection, intimacy, and communication. I also work with adult individuals to help navigate attachment wounds, sexual dysfunction, anxiety, depression, and trauma. My clients seek a safe space to overcome their inner conflicts, understand the dimensions of their being, and be seen and heard. I use interventions in sessions to help clients resolve conflicts and put words to their feelings.

I provide a safe space where you and I can explore the emotions and experiences that characterize your successes and struggles.

Much of my work is with individuals who are experiencing issues related to anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and trauma. Every person is unique, and I believe every person demands an approach specifically tailored for them.

I am a licensed psychologist who is trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy. Patients who come to me are looking to understand the significance and meaning of their most difficult-to-solve problems—problems like anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relational struggles, and self-harm. They are often patients who have not had success with short-term and/or cognitive therapies, and they have a sense that their struggles signify something more than mere dysfunction—that their problems point to something unique and unknown about themselves.

It can create for us moments of exhilarating joy and excruciating pain. The key to maximize joy and minimize pain is very different for each individual. It is important to have a wide range of resilience building practices to draw from in order to create individualized self-care plans.

Trauma and PTSD Therapists
When should I seek treatment for trauma?
Not everyone who undergoes trauma needs therapy to heal, but many do. If, after experiencing a traumatic event, you find yourself struggling with symptoms such as nightmares, dissociation, irritability, or emotional numbness—especially if these symptoms last more than a month and are severe enough to interfere with your daily functioning—you may benefit from seeking out therapy with a trauma-informed provider.
How long does trauma therapy take?
Different types of therapy for trauma unfold on different timelines. Prolonged exposure therapy and cognitive processing therapy, for example, each take about three months, while trauma-informed CBT may last anywhere from 8 to 25 sessions. Other approaches, especially those that are less structured or that incorporate elements from multiple modalities, may be more open-ended, though many patients report feeling better within the first few months of treatment.
What happens if trauma is left untreated?
Unaddressed trauma can have serious—even devastating—effects on relationships, career, and day-to-day functioning. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can lead people to distrust or lash out at others, making it difficult to maintain intimate relationships; it can also trigger symptoms such as flashbacks or hyperreactivity that can interfere with a person’s ability to function effectively, personally and/or professionally. Some sufferers turn to drugs to find relief. Symptoms may lessen on their own with time, but there is no guarantee that PTSD will resolve on its own.
Can PTSD come back after treatment?
It is possible for PTSD symptoms to recur months or years after successful treatment. This is because, like most mental health disorders, it is not possible to “cure” PTSD, and stressful life events may cause symptoms to recur in even the most resilient individuals. There is no shame in re-experiencing PTSD symptoms nor in returning to therapy when such relapses occur; indeed, many forms of trauma therapy explicitly encourage periodic “maintenance sessions” to reinforce coping skills and ensure that symptoms stay manageable.
