Your Path to Healing

About

As a lesbian therapist, I offer virtual counseling for LGBTQ+ individuals and couples navigating trauma and relationship challenges. I use evidence-based approaches such as EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Ketamine-Assisted Therapy to support meaningful, lasting change.

Specialties

I provide a warm, inclusive foundation for your healing, delivering evidence-based care through virtual counseling designed to meet your unique needs.

Trauma Recovery

Trauma isn’t just what happened, it’s how your mind and body learned to adapt in order to survive.

You may notice it showing up as anxiety, emotional overwhelm, shutdown, people-pleasing, difficulty trusting, or feeling stuck in patterns you don’t fully understand. In our work together, we slow things down and gently explore the why behind these responses, without forcing or retraumatizing.

I use a trauma-informed, integrative approach that includes Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, somatic awareness, and nervous system regulation. This allows us to work with the protective parts of you that developed for a reason, while also helping your system process and release what’s been held.

This isn’t about “fixing” you, it’s about helping you feel safer in your own body, understand yourself more deeply, and move out of survival mode into a more grounded, connected way of living.

Relationships

Relationships can bring up the deepest parts of us, our attachment patterns, fears of abandonment or rejection, and the ways we’ve learned to cope, protect, and connect.

In our work together, we explore the why behind your relationship patterns, whether that shows up as codependency, people-pleasing, emotional withdrawal, over-functioning, trauma bonds, or difficulty communicating your needs.

You’ll learn how your attachment style shapes the way you relate, how to recognize and shift unhealthy dynamics, and how to communicate more clearly and effectively without losing yourself in the process.

This work is about building awareness, strengthening boundaries, and creating relationships that feel more secure, balanced, and aligned with who you truly are.

Ketamine-Assisted Therapy

I  offer ketamine-assisted therapy (KAP) in partnership with Journey Clinical, allowing eligible clients to receive treatment at home with professional support.

Ketamine can help you access deeper insight, shift long-standing patterns, and move through emotional blocks, especially for trauma, anxiety, and depression.

Our work includes preparation and integration sessions to help you make sense of your experience and create lasting change, while Journey Clinical’s medical team handles evaluation, prescription, and monitoring.
