Individual therapy
Where else can you discuss past trauma, Vanderpump Rules, and your relationship with your father in the same hour? Individual therapy offers us a space to work on our relationship with ourselves and the people in our community. It can be a place to discuss the topics that feel too heavy for the dinner party or the thoughts that embarrass us. It is our time, in which the only pretense is that all of our identities are welcomed. Therapy is a subversive space where we can become new versions of ourselves, by our authentic definition of progress.
Counseling for anxiety
Anxiety can show up in a lot of different ways. Racing thoughts. Trouble sleeping. Tightness in your chest. A stomach that won’t settle. For some, it’s feeling on edge all the time. For others, it’s perfectionism, people pleasing, or a mind that just won’t shut off. Anxiety doesn’t always feel like panic. It can feel like jaw pain, clenching your fists, tension in your neck, or even chronic fatigue. Sometimes it’s hard to name. You just know something’s not right.
In our work together, we’ll slow things down and get curious about what your anxiety is trying to tell us. My approach is grounded in a person centered framework, which means I believe you are the expert on your own life. You won’t be told what to do or judged for how you’re coping. Instead, we’ll work collaboratively in a space that feels supportive, safe, and non-pathologizing.
I also draw from narrative therapy, helping you separate yourself from the anxiety so we can explore the stories you’ve been told and the ones you’ve been telling yourself about who you are and how you “should” be coping. Together, we’ll make room for more compassionate, empowering stories that honor your resilience.
Beyond just talking, I offer real time tools and resources you can use both in session and out in the world. Whether that’s grounding exercises, breathing techniques, or gentle shifts in thinking, these strategies can help daily life feel a little more manageable.
Therapy won’t erase anxiety overnight. But it can create space to understand it, tend to it, and respond to it in a new way.
Counseling for trauma
Trauma isn’t just something that happened in the past. It lives in the body and shapes the way we move through the world. You might feel constantly on edge, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. Maybe you’re easily startled or overwhelmed. Maybe you shut down without meaning to. You might have trouble sleeping, chronic pain or fatigue, or feel numb even when you want to feel something. Trauma can affect your memory, your relationships, your sense of safety, and your ability to trust yourself.
In therapy, we’ll approach all of this with care. I work from a trauma informed lens, which means I pay attention to the nervous system and the body just as much as the mind. We’ll move at your pace and focus on building safety, both in our relationship and in your own body.
I integrate EMDR, a powerful method for helping the brain and body reprocess stuck trauma responses, and I use polyvagal theory to help make sense of how your nervous system is reacting to the world around you. You’ll learn how to recognize your own cues for fight, flight, freeze, and fawn, and how to gently shift into a more grounded state when possible.
We’ll also bring in mindfulness and somatic awareness, working together to help you reconnect with your body in ways that feel safe and empowering. Sometimes this means learning how to breathe more deeply. Sometimes it means noticing tension and learning how to release it. Sometimes it means simply honoring the wisdom of your body and the ways it has tried to protect you.
Together, we can explore how those past experiences are showing up now and find new ways to care for the parts of you that are still holding on.
