  • Individual Psychotherapy

    A lot of us get stuck in the same pattern: overextending ourselves, people pleasing, feeling lost in relationships where our needs don’t seem to matter. We’re often disconnected from what we actually need, or feel guilty for having needs at all. When pain becomes overwhelming, we find ways to cope - perfectionism, staying busy, numbing with food or substances. It helps us survive, but it also keeps us stuck.

    I work with you to strengthen your relationship with yourself by tuning in to your nervous system, understanding your history, your patterns, and how you’ve been conditioned. We’ll build boundaries, strengthen your identity, and develop the confidence to show up authentically.

  • Traumatic Relationships

    Close relationships either deepen through challenges or create distance and rigidity. Learning to trust yourself and listen to what your body tells you holds specific clues about a relationship’s health and your emotional safety. Sometimes there’s narcissism: repeated emotional neglect or abuse, avoiding accountability, deceit, betrayal, being controlled or dismissed. These relationships leave marks that don’t go away on their own, and they’re confusing because they often cycle through periods of warmth and connection.

    Treatment is about understanding what happened, reclaiming your sense of self, and learning discernment - how to trust your intuition again, create boundaries from self-worth, and recognize which behaviors to look out for.

  • Couples Therapy

    Most conflicts are your unresolved needs playing out in the relationship. Understanding these relational frameworks and learning how to repair with your specific partner brings deeper love and harmony. The goal isn’t a perfect relationship, it’s one where you can navigate the hard stuff together and come out closer because of it.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

  • Divorce & Starting Over

    Divorce brings loss, grief, and uncertainty. Even when you know it’s necessary, it still hurts. It shakes your sense of identity and trust in yourself and others, leaving you wondering how to rebuild. Whether you chose the ending or it was chosen for you, there’s grief to process, confidence to reclaim, and often co-parenting to navigate.

    We’ll make sense of what happened, work through the loss, and rebuild your sense of self so you can move forward with clarity and strength.

  • Psychedelic Integration

    Psychedelic experiences, whether in a clinic, guided ceremony, or on your own, can reveal in hours what might take years of traditional therapy to uncover. It creates new neural pathways in the brain, and brings buried memories and emotions to the surface in ways that can be transformational, even mystical. You might suddenly understand patterns that have confused you for years, see your relationships with clarity, or reconnect with parts of yourself you’ve lost.

    Integration is the process of making sense of what you experienced and turning it into lasting change. Without it, even powerful insights fade. Together, we’ll explore what came up and how you can bring it into your daily life, shifting how you show up for yourself, your relationships, and in the world.
