I work 1:1 with folks who are +18 and physically located in Oregon or Mississippi. Folks who are exploring their identities, self-worth, relational patterns, who may have a history of trauma. I’m honored to work with those who have a history of relational trauma, meaning betrayal, abuse, and/or suffering by someone who was trusted, loved, or relied upon. This can make relationships with others & ourselves much more difficult and confusing to navigate. I’m here to assist in the untangling of that and to support you in building trust and safety within yourself with the hope that translates into your relationships with others too.

In addition, I am deeply passionate about supporting individuals who are navigating overwhelming life transitions and the emotional complexities that can accompany that.

what sessions are like with me

Get cozy with your favorite coffee in a quiet private space. Sessions often start with a brief check-in, then transition into what you feel would be helpful for us to focus on that week. We may continue work from the previous session(s) and discuss pain points that impacted you outside of the therapy space. There’s room for humor, vulnerability, and everything in between.

Although this is a virtual space, I want you to feel comfortable! I encourage you to have fidget toys, a warm blanket, snacks, whatever makes you feel cozy.

I focus on exploring the emotional impacts of relational trauma. While we cannot go back and change the past, parts of it could still be impacting us in the present, which may show up in our relationships with others and ourselves. Therefore, my work is psychodynamic and draws support from relational, attachment-based, and trauma-focused approaches.

This means that as we explore what you’re currently navigating, we would also draw from your childhood or past experiences, your relationships with others, and the therapeutic relationship itself (that’s me & you!). This helps us to understand your patterns, what influences them, and their deeper meanings and impacts on your life.
