Welcome to my private practice, where I am dedicated to helping women cultivate healthy relationships and break free from patterns of dysfunctional connections. My therapeutic approach is rooted in a deep understanding of historical and intergenerational trauma, recognizing that our past experiences often shape our present behaviors and emotions.

 

As a person of bi-racial identity (Ihanktonwan Dakota Sioux and western European lineage) I know something about trusting those who say all the right things in the beginning (or being in a vulnerable position and feeling you have no choice but to believe) but they repeatedly betray and/or abuse your trust.  My lineage and lived experience informs my ability to address concerns for BIPOC populations (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) such as: 

racism, marginalization, identity confusion and historical trauma.

​

In our sessions, we'll work together to tap into your intuition, through

several modalities, mainly Internal Family Systems and Mindfulness, 

which allow you to gain insight into your emotions and behaviors.

This self-awareness is a powerful tool in the process of healing and

transformation. My goal is to assist you in restoring your

self-esteem, helping you recognize your inherent worth and value.

​

Through our therapeutic journey, my aim is for you to feel more

connected - both to yourself and to those around you. Together,

we will navigate the complexities of your personal experiences and

empower you to build healthier, more fulfilling relationships. Your path

to healing and growth starts here, in a safe and supportive space

where your well-being is the priority.
