While I work with a variety of different concerns, I tend to work best navigating these main areas.
-

(Trauma, PTSD, complex trauma, developmental trauma, relational trauma, systemic trauma, betrayal trauma).
When trauma goes unprocessed, parts of you might still hold the fear, sadness, or aloneness from those moments.
→ We’ll work to create a safe relationship where those emotions can finally be met and moved through.

-
The stigma around death, dying, and wanting to die can be so limiting to healing. Your true feelings deserve to be expressed and processed.
→ If you’re grappling with suicidal ideation, you are certainly not alone.
→ Holding suicide as an option can be a helpful tool to feel in control of our lives. We can process this together.
-
Confronting the heavier questions and realities of the human experience can be isolating and scary, but you don't have to navigate them alone. Therapy provides a space to explore these feelings, uncover your meaning, and show up exactly as you are.
-
Anxiety and depression sometimes signal emotional experiences that haven’t had a safe place to be felt or understood.
→ In our work together, we slow down, create safety, and gently explore the feelings underneath the worry or heaviness.
→ With support, you can reconnect with yourself and begin to feel more grounded and alive.
-
Experiencing low self-esteem or self-worth can sometimes come from moments when you didn’t receive the care or safety you needed.
→ Together, we explore the emotions and experiences that shaped how you see yourself.
→ With support, it’s possible to uncover a deeper sense of confidence and self-compassion.
-
A space to process living with both visible and invisible loss.
→ This can include many different forms, like death, estrangement, breakups, fading connections, and personal identity changes.
→ To really integrate and process grief, we’ll work through all the emotions that arise. The sadness, but also the anger, guilt, regret, curiosity, and hope.
-
Our experiences leave marks on our relationships, and we can often see ourselves reflected in them. Maybe you're having a hard time being vulnerable with a partner or are feeling easily triggered by a family member. We can let these moments guide us to the parts of ourselves that need tending to, and explore them together.
→ I can help you sort through relational challenges one-on-one (individual therapy).
→ Some relationship conflicts I have helped people work on are: managing conflicts, power imbalances, communicating needs and boundaries, and processing betrayed trust.
It may feel strange to attempt to fit yourself into one of these categories.
If I haven’t captured your experience, please feel free to reach out and we can sort out together if I may be the right fit for you.
