Trauma Therapy

Healing from trauma is possible, and support is available for those navigating the effects of domestic violence, assault, childhood abuse, or other deeply distressing experiences.

Therapy offers a compassionate and personalized approach, creating a space where safety, trust, and understanding come first. Using proven, trauma-informed strategies, treatment helps gently process painful experiences, build resilience, and restore a sense of wholeness—always at a pace that feels right.

No one has to face healing alone. With the right support, life can feel more grounded, hopeful, and connected again.

LGBTQIA+ Community

You may be exhausted from having to explain what it means to be queer or poly to your therapist. You deserve more than that—you deserve a space where your identity is understood, respected, and affirmed from the start.

LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy provides culturally competent care that acknowledges the unique challenges of navigating a world shaped by heterosexism, homophobia, transphobia, and stigma. It creates room to explore your experiences without fear of judgment or misunderstanding.

This approach recognizes the very real impact of discrimination—especially in today’s political climate—and centers your identity as a source of strength, not something to be explained or justified. Therapy should be a place where you feel seen, supported, and empowered to heal and grow.

Spiritually Affirming Therapy

For many, a meaningful spiritual life can be a powerful source of healing and emotional well-being. For others, healing may have nothing to do with spirituality at all—and both experiences are fully respected and welcome here.

Therapy may involve exploring or deconstructing religious beliefs, especially if a current or former faith tradition no longer feels healthy or aligned with your values. If desired, our work together can also include nurturing or rediscovering a spiritual practice—one that feels authentic and life-giving to you.

This could take many forms, including paganism, Buddhism, other religious traditions, or individual spiritual practices like working with crystals, tarot, incense, ritual, or meditation. All paths are honored.

As we address the concerns that bring you to therapy, the goal is to support you in creating a life that feels spiritually enriched, embodied, and aligned with who you truly are. Therapy is a space where the sacred connections between mind, body, heart, and spirit can be explored with curiosity, respect, and care.

Substance Use Therapy

For many people concerned about their substance use trauma is the gateway to problematic use or dependence. For others it may be issues including depression or anxiety. Addressing the complexities of substance use requires gentle curiosity about how substances help you cope so we can develop new approaches to recovery that maximize your chance of success whether your goals are abstinence or moderation. Learning new strategies to manage your substance use can help you maintain your recovery goals.

Clinical Supervision

Congratulations on taking the next steps towards licensure. My background includes working with both children and adults, dual diagnosis, chronic mental illness, and trauma. My approach is supportive and customized to your professional needs. I offer individual sessions weekly with support during the week as needed and group supervision may be available. I have expertise in sandtray therapy and can teach you how to use that effectively with your clients if that technique interests you. I welcome you to reach out to learn more about my practice and my supervision style. I want to learn more about your needs, your approach to therapy, and your specific goals to determine if we are the right fit. 

College Students

For many students, college is the first time significant mental health challenges emerge—or the first opportunity to seek support, especially if therapy wasn’t accessible or accepted at home. Navigating feelings of depression, anxiety, or other emotional struggles can be overwhelming, especially while trying to keep up with academic demands.

On top of that, adjusting to newfound independence often brings tension in family dynamics, as boundaries shift and relationships evolve. These transitions can be emotionally complex and difficult to manage alone.

Therapy offers a supportive space to process these changes, manage intense emotions, and develop skills to thrive both personally and academically. With the right support, it’s possible to feel more grounded, confident, and equipped to handle the challenges of college life.
