“Because, before self-love becomes a liberation, it is first a burden. ”
Is there a part of you that is afraid your authentic self is not good enough or will not be accepted? But also a part of you that is aching to explore your true nature and desires? I help my clients to reconcile these parts of themselves to be able to live an inner and outer life that feels congruent. Grief is an inherent part of life, and comes up when facing identity changes, breakups, and deaths. I help clients process their grief by guiding them through the complex emotions of loss, offering tools to express their pain and honor their loved ones. Together, we explore how grief impacts their identity, relationships, and sense of purpose, while fostering resilience and healing through personalized coping strategies and meaningful rituals.
In session I work to acknowledge the systemic barriers fueled by white supremacy that limit the progress of people of Color and those within the LGBT+ community. I also recognize my own privilege. I aim to dismantle systems of societal oppression and ensure you feel seen and heard. I care deeply about attuning to you and encouraging your healing process by asking meaningful questions and creating a space where safety and vulnerability can thrive. You can count on me to introduce some humor and occasional colorful language into our sessions. This is an opportunity to invest in your personal or relational growth. Therapy can be very hard work, but I’m also looking for the beautiful moments we can celebrate throughout the process.
I specialize in treating anxiety, complex trauma, grief, and depression using attachment-based therapy, EMDR and an Internal Family Systems approach. I enjoy working with people navigating things like the coming out process, grieving a death or anticipated one, relational struggles, exploring their sexual and gender identities regardless of age, ethically non-monogamous relationships, racial/intergenerational trauma, belonging, and more.
I earned my B.S. in Neuroscience from Nebraska Wesleyan University and an M.S. in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Nebraska - Lincoln. Please reach out to schedule a 15-minute consultation call if you are interested in working together. I am supervised by Grace Martin, LMFT, Founder of the practice and AAMFT Approved Supervisor.
