My approach to therapy: I’m a direct, trauma informed therapist who works with people often labeled the “black sheep” or “too much” for speaking honestly about abuse or dysfunction. I help clients reconnect with their voice, rebuild trust in themselves, and make sense of complex trauma from families, institutions, or high control environments.

My approach to therapy: I work with adults navigating trauma, mood disorders, and moments of crisis that feel overwhelming or destabilizing. Many of the people I see are struggling with shame, self-criticism, or feeling like they “should” be handling things better. Shame keeps people stuck. Self-compassion creates momentum. And you don’t have to figure this out alone.

Signs You Need Treatment for Suicidal Thoughts

  • You don’t feel any sense of purpose or hope for the future.
  • You do things without thinking about your own safety.
  • You have attempted to end your life in the past.
  • You have separated yourself from friends and loved ones.
  • You think about and plan your own death.
