Does this sound familiar?
- You’re frustrated with your partner. Why can’t they just get it?!
- Your relationships keep landing in the same tangled patterns.
- Even as an adult, things with a parent still sting.
- You’re doing your best as a parent, and some days it doesn’t feel like enough.
- Something feels off, and you can’t quite put your finger on it.
If you nodded at any of these, you’re in the right place.
About me
I’ve had my share of ups and downs, and therapy changed my life. I know firsthand what can open up when you have the right support, and being a therapist is how I pass that on. Before this, I was a teacher and an academic coach, so I’ve spent my whole career helping people learn and grow. I’m also a lover of silly and deep conversations, an enthusiastic off-key singer, and I once danced in a Super Bowl halftime show. (Ask me about it.)
What’s therapy like with me?
It’s warm, honest, and yes, sometimes we laugh. I hold space and hope for you as you work toward the life you want, and I’m there to grieve with you over the parts you can’t have. Together, we’ll get curious about what’s really going on underneath the arguments, the distance, and the feelings that don’t quite add up. My goal is to help you get to know yourself, trust yourself, and feel free to be who you really are.
I believe clear is kind, so I’ll be straight with you, gently. We’ll use talk therapy along with body-based approaches, because healing doesn’t only happen in your head. I’m neurodiversity-affirming, LGBTQIA+ affirming, and I’ll meet you where you are.
What I help with
Relational, complex, and generational trauma · PTSD · Relationship struggles · Anxiety & depression · Emotion regulation · ADHD · Grief, including pregnancy and baby loss · Parenting
I work with individuals, couples, and parents. I draw from a variety of therapy models and principles, especially Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and STAIR (Self-Trust And Integrated Resilience). Both are based on how the brain actually learns and changes, so the progress you make is more likely to last. I spent my teaching years fascinated by how people learn, and now I get to use that in therapy.
Therapy intensives
Want to go deeper, faster? I offer 3-hour therapy intensives, some using ART, for people who want focused time to make real progress. Find details and booking at lofntherapy.com.
