I specialize in supporting women navigating complex experiences that often go misunderstood. This includes women who have experienced harm within spiritual or religious communities—whether that's spiritual abuse, religious trauma, or the complicated grief of leaving a faith tradition. I also work with women managing anxiety, depression, and interpersonal trauma.

If you've felt silenced, questioned your own reality, or struggled to trust yourself after difficult experiences, you're not alone. My practice is a place where your story matters, your feelings are valid, and healing is possible.

You may understand exactly why you feel the way you do and still find yourself unable to change it. Anxiety, trauma, grief or a pattern from years ago can keep showing up even when you've tried hard to move forward. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Certified EMDR Therapist. Counseling is something I chose as a second career after a background in science and years as a writer.
