Therapy for folks navigating trauma, anxiety, grief, religious trauma, and the complicated parts of the human experience.
Are you looking for a therapist who can be both gentle and direct? Someone who can encourage you, challenge you, and appreciate a little sarcasm along the way? Someone who knows when to laugh about how ridiculous life can be and when it’s time to get serious?
Hi, I’m Ruth!
I’m passionate about working with folks navigating trauma, anxiety, grief, difficult relationships, religious trauma, and those lovely moments when life decides to throw everything at you at once.
I get it. Life really sucks sometimes. Let's figure out how to make it suck a little less.
You know something doesn't feel right... you just can't always explain why. Yet.
Maybe you’ve spent years keeping the peace, putting everyone else’s needs first, and feeling guilty whenever you try to set a boundary. You’re exhausted from holding everything together, but slowing down doesn’t exactly come naturally.
You overthink conversations, second-guess decisions (and then second-guess the second-guessing), or worry about things you can’t control. Even sitting with uncomfortable emotions or not knowing what comes next can feel overwhelming.
Or maybe life looks nothing like you imagined. You’re grieving someone you love, a community you once belonged to, or even the version of yourself you thought you’d be.
Whatever brought you here, you don’t need to have it all figured out before starting therapy. My goal is to listen, get curious, and help you make sense of things at your own pace.
You get to have a say in what comes next
Are you ready to take steps toward building confidence, trusting yourself, setting boundaries, or getting more comfortable with the “I don’t knows”? Maybe you’re ready to explore self-love, acceptance, who YOU are, and what matters to YOU.
Or perhaps you just need a place to sit with life’s twists and turns, and make sense of things without having all the answers.
My approach is collaborative, curious, and tailored to your unique experiences and needs. Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all, and my goal is to create a space where you feel heard, have a say in the process, and can explore and grow on your own terms.

02. Understand What Brought You Here
New leaves don't appear overnight. They unfold a little at a time. My hope is that you leave therapy with deeper roots, practical tools to carry into everyday life, and more space to continue growing into a life that feels more like your own.
