What I Offer
Individual Psychotherapy / Counseling
A designated space to sort through what’s troubling you and an outside clinical perspective. I use different modalities to help us identify and understand your past, where you stand today, and what you may want to do with your future. Most people come to therapy feeling something is off but uncertain of how to handle it. Others know exactly what they want to work through. All are welcome.

I work with individuals navigating:
Betrayal trauma recovery for partners of those with compulsive sexual behavior disorders (e.g., sex & porn addiction).
Shame and self-worth struggles
Anxiety and depression
Relationship and attachment concerns
Life transitions and identity shifts
Emotional overwhelm and nervous system dysregulation
-
My work integrates several evidence-based and body-centered approaches, including:
Attachment Theory
Trauma-Informed care
Brainspotting
Kali Connection Therapy
Polyvagal Theory
Somatic Approaches
Systems Theories
Any of these approaches help us work not only by talking and through insight, but also through the body and nervous system, where trauma and stress are often held. Together, we focus on increasing regulation, building resilience, and creating new experiences of safety and connection.

In the beginning, therapy can feel vulnerable; my goal is to make that first step feel a little easier. I offer a space where you can slow down, feel understood, and begin to make sense of what you’re going through free from judgment or pressure.
My work is grounded in attachment theory and trauma-informed care. I believe many of the struggles we experience are connected to how we’ve learned to cope and connect in relationships and in our bodies. Together, we will look at those patterns with curiosity and compassion, and build new ways to feel safer, more regulated, and stay more connected.
I integrate approaches including Brainspotting, the Kali Connection model, polyvagal theory, and somatic-based work. This means therapy isn’t just about talking things through — we also pay attention to how stress and trauma live in the nervous system, and work gently toward healing from the inside out.
My certification in Partner Betrayal Trauma offers a unique understanding of individuals navigating the pain and confusion that can come from relationships impacted by sex or pornography addiction. Therapy can be a place to rebuild trust in yourself, set healthy boundaries, and begin to move forward with clarity.
My style is conversational, collaborative, and paced in a way that respects where you are. You don’t need to have the right words or a clear plan, or any plan at all— we simply start where you are.

Explores how our early relationships shape the way we connect with others and ourselves. Understanding your attachment patterns can help make sense of relationship struggles, emotional reactions, and fears around closeness or trust, while supporting the development of more secure and fulfilling connections.
-
A structured approach using exercises that focus on creating safe, attuned, co-regulating connection within the therapy relationship. The process allows the opportunity for the nervous system to experience new patterns of safety and agency while completing the stress cycle that is blocked in unprocessed trauma.
-
A focused, body-based therapy that helps access and process experiences that may be stored deep in the brain and nervous system. By identifying specific eye positions connected to emotional activation, Brainspotting allows the brain to process trauma, stress, and difficult experiences in a way that often goes beyond traditional talk therapy.
-
Helps us understand how the nervous system responds to stress, safety, and connection. In therapy, this framework helps us notice how your body reacts to overwhelm or threat and gently build skills to support regulation, safety, and a greater sense of calm and connection in everyday life.
