You've struggled for years to make sense of why you don't quite fit into your family, peer groups, or social norms. You and your partner love each other deeply but cannot stop triggering each other due to past trauma or neurotype differences. You feel like you've never had a healthy romantic relationship no matter how hard you try. You're stuck in your head, and you struggle to feel your feelings and shift your emotional patterns. If that sounds familiar, I have expertise working with clients just like you. Together, we can help you find your path back towards healing, connection, and authenticity.

Building healthy relationships with others depends on us having a healthy relationship with ourselves. I use Internal Family Systems and EMDR to help neurodivergent adults, queer folks, and CPTSD survivors build life affirming relationships to themselves and the important people in their lives. I see both couples and individuals.

As a queer, neurodivergent clinician who specializes in healing attachment trauma, I understand what it's like to struggle with healthy relationships and self-compassion when you fall outside the "norm". Self-compassion and loving relationships are possible. Let's work together to help you find your way back to love. Available virtually in IL, MA, MO, OR, PA, and WA.

I have experience working with LGBTQ folks, neurodivergent adults, CPTSD/relational trauma survivors, and single/divorced mothers. I am Level 2 trained in Internal Family Systems and an EMDR Certified Therapist. I am trained in Intimacy From the Inside Out couple's therapy.

I focus on helping neurodivergent, queer, and/or complex trauma survivors develop healthy relationships with themselves and others. Our sessions will focus on discovering and healing the many parts of your personality that have been burdened by trauma, social and familial rejection, and oppression. We can work towards helping you build self-compassion and flourishing relationships.

My main modality for individuals is Internal Family Systems, and my main modality for couples is IFIO (IFS couple's therapy). We will explore the different parts of you, such as your feelings, behaviors, and beliefs, and help you build compassion for every aspect of yourself. We will work on using your compassionate Self to foster healthy relationships with your partner and other loved ones.
