Areas of Focus

Compassionate Support for Complex Challenges

Healing isn’t linear. We’re here for the long haul, with specialized care for the layered realities of trauma, stress, and emotional pain. Whether you’re just beginning or returning to your healing journey, these are the areas we’re equipped to support:

  • PTSD & PTSI – With or without a formal diagnosis, your experience is valid and deserves care.
  • Suicidal Ideation – Thoughtful, stigma-free support for both passive and active thoughts.
  • Anxiety – Tools and therapy to help you manage and move through daily or chronic anxiety.
  • Depression – Personalized support for all forms of depression, from subtle to severe.
  • Complex Trauma – Inclusive care for medical, childhood, grief, narcissistic, and other layered traumas.
  • Trauma Recovery Check-Ins – Optional 30-minute sessions to support progress between full appointments.

  • Psychedelic Therapy Pre-Assessment – The purpose of the pre-assessment is to take a harm reduction, psychodynamic and integrative approach. This means we provide a list of questions that seeks the intention of psychedelic-assisted therapy (PAT) and the reasons for integrating such therapy into your healing journey.

Founder & Psychotherapist

I am a private practice clinic offering experienced and customized psychotherapy for adults (18–70).
