Care rooted in embodiment, liberation, and the wisdom already within you.

You’re not broken. Something happened, or is happening, that your body, mind, and spirit are trying to make sense of.

Maybe you’ve been carrying pain for a long time, or maybe something cracked open recently and the ground beneath you doesn’t feel as solid. Either way, you belong here and we’ll figure it out together.

I work primarily with adults and young adults who are living with the impacts of trauma, altered states, and profound life transitions, including spiritual awakenings and experiences that are hard to explain.

Here are some of the experiences I work with most often:

Psychosis & Experiences That Are Hard to Explain

Experiences that feel disconnected from reality like hearing things others don’t, perceiving the world differently, or feeling like something has fundamentally shifted can be frightening, isolating, and hard to put into words. Many therapists aren’t trained to sit with these experiences, and even fewer do so without rushing to label or pathologize them. I am. And I don’t.

I work with what you call your experience not what a diagnosis says about it. Whether you’ve been given a clinical label, are questioning one, or have never spoken about this with anyone, you’ll find a space here that meets you with curiosity rather than a clipboard. I bring specialized training in first-episode psychosis and a deep, steady compassion for this often misunderstood terrain.

Trauma & Early Wounds

Life events that shaped you in ways that are hard to name can leave a deep imprint, even if no one around you would have called it “trauma.” Maybe you grew up feeling unseen or not quite safe in your own home, church, or community. This can look like emotional neglect, religious trauma, or relational betrayal that still echoes through your relationships and self‑worth today.

In our work together, we’ll move gently and steadily, honoring your pace and your body’s wisdom. No rushing. No forcing. Over time, we’ll make space for the younger parts of you that didn’t get what they needed, so you can relate to yourself with more care, choice, and dignity in the present.

Identity & Life Transitions

Questions about who you are and how you want to live can surface at any point in life. You might be exploring your gender or sexual identity, neurodivergence, cultural or racial identity, or spiritual beliefs. You may also be navigating transitions like moving, changing careers, shifting relationships, or leaving a community that once felt like home.

You don’t have to have it all figured out to begin. In our work, we’ll make space for the complexity of your identities and the realities of the world you move through. I especially welcome LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, mixed‑race, and spiritually deconstructing folks who are longing for a place to bring all of themselves.

Racial & Gender Trauma

Living in a world shaped by racism, sexism, transphobia, and other systems of oppression leaves marks on the body and psyche. These wounds are not just individual; they are collective and historical.

In our work, we’ll honor both your personal story and the larger contexts you are navigating. We’ll move at a pace that honors both your safety and your truth, making space for grief, anger, and relief as they arise. You don’t have to minimize what you’ve gone through here.

Mood Conditions: Depression & Bipolar

Depression and mood swings can make even basic daily tasks feel impossible. You might find yourself cycling between collapse and intensity, or feeling like you don’t recognize yourself from one season to the next. There is nothing wrong with you for struggling to get through the day in a world that isn’t designed for your nervous system.

Together, we’ll track your patterns with curiosity rather than judgment and build supports that fit the specificity of your life. We may explore medication, routines, relationships, and meaning‑making as we look for more steadiness and compassion toward all of your states.

Suicidal Thoughts

If you live with suicidal thoughts, you are not alone and you are not a burden for having them. Suicidal thoughts can be a response to pain that feels too big to hold by yourself, or a way your system signals that something in your life is asking to be deeply changed.

In our work together, we will talk about these thoughts directly and honestly, without punishment or panic whenever possible. If you’re living with these thoughts, you don’t have to wait until you’re in emergency‑level crisis to reach out. We’ll create a plan that honors both your safety and your autonomy, and that recognizes the conditions around you—not just what lives inside you.

Spiritual Shifts & Growth

Spiritual life can be a source of deep nourishment—and also of confusion, fear, or pain. You might be going through an awakening, a crisis of faith, a deconstruction of inherited beliefs, or an experience that feels mystical, uncanny, or hard to explain. This can include intuitive openings, encounters with the unseen, or other spiritual experiences that feel destabilizing, wondrous, or both.

Maybe you’re questioning everything you were taught, or feeling like you’re living between worlds. You might not know how to talk about this without worrying you’ll be dismissed, pathologized, or preached at.

In our work, we’ll make room for the full range of your spiritual experience—from doubt and loss to awe and connection. I welcome all spiritual paths and non‑traditional practices, including those who identify as spiritual but not religious. We’ll explore what feels true for you now, and how to root into a sense of meaning and belonging that fits who you are becoming.

A Note on Equity

Social justice isn’t a footnote here, it’s foundational. I understand that wellbeing is shaped by culture, identity, and the systems we live within. This includes a commitment to working outside of pathologizing frameworks especially for communities that have historically been harmed, over-diagnosed, or dismissed by the mental health system. Oppression, generational trauma, and structural harm are real and they belong in the room.
