Welcome
Trauma and healing is complex.
In the process of healing, we dive into parts of ourselves that most humans shy away from. Your courage to seek support on your journey does not go unnoticed. I believe the ability to listen in to our core being and pull from our truth is the essence of our existence and the beginning of healing and transformation. You will be encouraged to lean into what is right for you, and to dive into areas that match the core of who you were created to be. When we are held empathetically and wholly, we begin to find access to our true and natural healing potential. We make sense. We begin to see ourselves as more than just our survival patterns. We begin to find and meet ourselves. We get to see, understand, and love the very complex pieces of ourselves that make us human. We become the most human versions of ourselves.
My approach to therapy is to show up as a human first. Together we take some time to get to know each other and our uniqueness. We work together to create a space that feels flexible, comfortable, and safe enough to explore how to find, grow, and nurture your natural resilience. Being able to walk with you on your healing journey is a gift, and I am honored to be able to witness you and your human-ness.
Connection is integral to feeling safe.

I typically respond to inquiries Monday-Thursday between the hours of 9a-5p.
Clients are scheduled 2p-5p Mondays, 9a-5p Tuesday & Wednesday.
I do not provide services Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, and am unable to provide crisis counseling.
Of course healing is possible – I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t fully believe in each person’s ability to get better.
The short answer is…it depends.
It depends largely on you, your goals, and how long you desire to spend in therapy. Some humans I’ve worked with for a few months, others for years, and others off and on. This decision is one we can discuss when we meet and one we’ll review on an ongoing basis.
Please fill out the form on the Contact page and I’ll be in touch with you within 3 working days for a consultation to get connected. We’ll talk through any details we need to during our 15-20 minute consultation.

15-20 minute initial consultation – Free

I require at least 24 hours notice to cancel or reschedule a session. Failure to cancel within this time frame means you will be responsible for paying the full fee for that time.
