Trauma is a highly complex and personal experience. Everyone's experience and definition of trauma is different. Among both professionals and clients, it is often incredibly misunderstood. It affects us across physical, social, emotional, and spiritual bounds. It compromises our ability to process sensory input and renders us incapable of communicating at times. Traumatic experiences can make us feel "small" and incompetent, incapable of managing basic tasks at times, or we may even develop intermittent or chronic pain.

Not accepting new clients
I am not able to take new clients at this time. I hold strongly to the belief that people are experts with regard to their individual circumstances, experiences, and feelings. As such, I approach therapy as a collaborative process in which you and I work together to enact change which is empowering and meaningful in your life. The relationship you have with a therapist is important, and I aim to help those I work with feel accepted, supported, and understood in the work we do together. I am a fierce advocate and believer in those I see, and I am here to work with you to help you enact desired change.

A cisgender, bi+ woman, I'm very familiar with anxiety, fear, and spending time in the bisexual double closet.
You've worked hard to get where you are, navigating anxiety, invisibility, sexism, "otherism." Your inner rebel is ready to kick internalized patriarchial narratives to the dust: "Too much." "Not enough." "Don't rock the boat." You've done therapy, thought you'd dealt with past crap - poor self esteem, toxic family and childhood trauma. But, restlessness, anxiety, and the "what if.s.." are back. It's time to do the deep dive. Get to the roots of fear, and insecurity that's holding you back. Reconnect with your playful inner child. Let's find your voice. And use it.

Healing is a brave and loving pursuit, but that doesn't mean it doesn't feel daunting to turn over the stones of grief and self-denial. We heal and grow not in a straight line, but in a spiral: a movement back & forth, toward & away from similar milestones, from darkness to light, and the path can seem overgrown and difficult to move through. There might be upheaval, pain, and grief, and moments of darkness to sift through and understand. The good news is that no matter what has happened to bring you here, you don't have to navigate this all alone.

I am actively accepting new clients. If you are seeking help with trauma, an eating disorder, struggles with food, your body, or anything in between, there are options other than what we have been taught. Our culture and our world often create an environment for people that encourages self denial. A wide variety of traumas often leave people with chronic feelings of fear, trouble with sleep, relationship distress, and dependence on something that might harm them.
