Services & Specialties — Wounds to Wings Therapy
How I can help
Specialized care for
real life challenges.
I bring over 25 years of experience and specialized training to each area below. Every approach is tailored to you — not a protocol, not a checklist. You.
Trauma & PTSD
Trauma leaves its mark on the body, mind, and relationships — often in ways that are hard to name. Using trauma-informed, somatic, and evidence-based approaches, we work at your pace to process what happened, reduce its grip on your present, and help you feel safe in your own life again.
What we address together
- Complex and developmental trauma
- PTSD and acute stress responses
- Childhood wounds and adverse experiences
- Relational and attachment trauma
- Sexual trauma (specialized training)
Anxiety & Depression
Anxiety and depression can make even ordinary days feel impossible. Whether you're caught in cycles of worry, struggling to get out of bed, or just feeling like a dimmer version of yourself, therapy offers a path back. We'll build practical skills and explore the roots of what you're experiencing.
What we address together
- Generalized anxiety and panic
- Social anxiety and phobias
- Major depression and persistent low mood
- Perfectionism and self-criticism
- Burnout and emotional exhaustion
Addictions & Recovery
Addiction is rarely just about the substance or behavior — it's about pain, coping, and unmet needs. With specialized addictions training, I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space to explore what's underneath, build healthier coping strategies, and move toward a life that feels worth living sober.
What we address together
- Substance use and dependency
- Behavioral addictions
- Co-occurring mental health and addiction
- Relapse prevention and recovery maintenance
- Family impact and relationships in recovery
Sexual Trauma
Sexual trauma requires specialized, deeply sensitive care. With dedicated training in this area, I provide a safe, shame-free space to process experiences at whatever pace feels right for you. Healing is possible — and you deserve support from someone who truly understands the complexity of this work.
What we address together
- Sexual assault and abuse (childhood and adult)
- Shame, guilt, and self-blame
- Intimacy and relationship impacts
- Body image and somatic responses
- Reclaiming safety and trust
Developmental Disabilities
I have specialized in working with individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities since 1999 — longer than any other area of my practice. I bring deep expertise, genuine respect, and adapted therapeutic approaches to support individuals and their families in building skills, navigating challenges, and living fuller lives.
What we address together
- Emotional regulation and behavioral support
- Anxiety, depression, and mood challenges
- Social skills and relationship building
- Life transitions and independence
- Family and caregiver support
Relationships & Communication
Whether you're navigating conflict with a partner, struggling in family dynamics, or finding it hard to connect with others, therapy can help. I work with couples and individuals to improve communication, repair trust, set healthy boundaries, and build the kinds of relationships that actually nourish you.
What we address together
- Couples communication and conflict
- Trust repair and infidelity recovery
- Family dynamics and boundaries
- Codependency and people-pleasing
- Loneliness and social connection
Life Transitions & Grief
Change — even positive change — can be disorienting. Loss, whether of a person, a relationship, a role, or a version of yourself, deserves real space to grieve. I help clients move through transitions with intention, find meaning in loss, and step into what comes next with greater clarity and resilience.
What we address together
- Grief and bereavement
- Divorce and relationship endings
- Career and identity transitions
- Chronic illness and disability adjustment
- Empty nest, retirement, and aging
Teens & Adolescents
Adolescence is one of the most complex and vulnerable seasons of life. I create a space where teens feel genuinely heard — not lectured — and work with them to build emotional skills, navigate social pressures, and develop a stronger sense of who they are and what they value.
What we address together
- Anxiety, depression, and mood
- Self-harm and suicidal ideation
- Identity and self-worth
- School stress and academic pressure
- Family conflict and peer relationships
