Specializing in Trauma, Anxiety, Depression, Spirituality, and More
Trauma & Complex Trauma
Trauma lives not only in memory but in the body, in relationships, and in the ways we learn to protect ourselves. I work with many kinds of trauma, including developmental and relational trauma, PTSD, medical trauma, and the harm that comes from discrimination and systemic oppression. Our work begins with safety. Drawing on somatic approaches and polyvagal theory, we pay attention to how your nervous system responds, building the regulation and steadiness that make deeper work possible. From there, Internal Family Systems (IFS), psychodynamic exploration, and EMDR-informed techniques when they fit help you understand and heal what’s underneath. Much of this healing happens in relationship, through the trust we build together, at a pace that feels right for you.
Anxiety, Depression & Mood Concerns
Anxiety, depression, and shifting moods often carry messages about what we need, what we’ve lost, or what we’ve had to hold alone. You might feel overwhelmed, on edge, flat, or caught in emotional ups and downs that are hard to predict. Rather than only trying to quiet the symptoms, we explore where they come from and what they’re asking of you. Over time we build both understanding and skills: a deeper sense of your own patterns and needs, along with tools for emotional regulation and managing distress, so that intense feelings become easier to move through and change can last.
Grief & Loss
Loss can reshape everything: who we are, what we believe, and how we move through the world. I’ve walked alongside people facing the death of loved ones, serious illness, and the endings and changes that don’t always get named as grief. Together we make room for all of it, honoring what was lost while finding a way to carry it forward. In time, grief can also become a place of growth, where new meaning, values, and ways of living begin to take shape from what you’ve been through.
Existential & Spiritual Questions
Sometimes what brings people to therapy isn’t a symptom but a question. Who am I? What gives my life meaning? How do I live with uncertainty, mortality, or a faith that has shifted? I welcome these questions, along with spiritual crises and awakenings, whether you come from a spiritual tradition, are exploring one, or hold none at all. As a certified yoga and meditation teacher, I can also help you bring your own spiritual practices into our work, so that healing includes mind, body, and spirit.
Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy
For some people, psychedelic-assisted therapy opens a door that talk therapy alone hasn’t. I offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP), along with preparation and integration support for people working with psychedelic experiences. My training includes the Psychedelic-Assisted Therapies Certificate from Naropa University.
Life Transitions & Identity
Change, even welcome change, can unsettle our sense of who we are. I support people through career changes, loss, parenthood, illness, aging, and other turning points. I also offer space to explore identity in all its layers, including gender, sexuality, neurodivergence, culture, and values. My practice is LGBTQIA+ affirming, and every part of who you are is welcome here.
Relationships & Family
As a licensed marriage and family therapist, I work with couples, families, and intimate relationships in all their forms, including chosen family. We'll look at communication, attachment, and boundaries, and at the old wounds that show up in our closest relationships, so that you can repair what has been strained and connect in ways that feel safer and more honest.
Consultation for New Therapists
I offer consultation for therapists early in their careers who want support with clinical questions, case conceptualization, and finding their own way of working. Having supervised counseling and social work trainees, I enjoy helping new clinicians grow in skill and confidence.
Getting Started
Reaching out to a therapist can feel like a big step, and I want it to feel as easy as possible. In our first sessions, we’ll talk about what brings you here, what you’re longing for, and what feels most important to you right now. There’s no right way to begin, and you don’t need to have it all figured out.
From there, we’ll shape an approach that fits you, drawing on depth-oriented psychoanalytic and existential psychotherapy, somatic and mindfulness-based practices, and approaches like Internal Family Systems (IFS) and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy. Whatever the approach, the foundation is the same: a warm, steady relationship where you can feel safe being fully yourself.
If something here speaks to you, I’d love to hear from you. You can schedule a discovery call using the contact form below, and we’ll see whether working together feels like the right fit.
