Hoping & Coping Counseling

Evidence-Based Psychotherapy Tailored to Your Goals

Good therapy feels like finally being heard. Whatever brought you here, there's a way forward.

Therapy with me can look different depending on who you are and what you're carrying.

Some people come weekly. Others need something more concentrated as a few intensive sessions to move through something specific.

Some come alone, some with a partner, some with a constellation of people they love and struggle with.

What stays consistent is my approach: collaborative, somatic, and genuinely engaged. There's no single right way to do this.

"When we sit together, you will never be blamed for what happened to you or the thought habits developed as a means of survival."

The Approach

Warm, direct, and genuinely present.

Sessions are described as warm and direct. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral, Dialectical Behavioral, and Integrative Somatic Trauma therapies.

Somatic work means the body is part of the conversation in a practical, grounded way that helps you understand what your nervous system has been trying to tell you.

Who This Is For

This might be a good fit.

If any of the following resonate, you're likely in the right place — though this list is far from complete.

Areas I work with

  • Attachment trauma or C-PTSD
  • Anxiety disorders
  • Sexual abuse or assault
  • Relational conflict or disconnection
  • Gender identity or expression
  • Neurodivergence and its relational impact
  • Life transitions that feel bigger than expected

What I offer

Ways to work together

From the steady rhythm of weekly sessions to concentrated intensives and relational work.

Individual Therapy

One-on-one sessions for adults navigating trauma, anxiety, identity, relationships, or any of the complicated overlaps between them. Weekly or biweekly, depending on your needs and schedule.

Couples Therapy

For partners working through conflict, disconnection, intimacy challenges, or the kind of stuck that's hard to name. I work with couples of all configurations and orientations.

Grouples

For the relationship structures that don't fit the standard couple model. I work with throuples, polycules, chosen families, and other configurations that bring their own beautiful complexity. All are welcome here.

Intensive Sessions

For people who want to move faster or go deeper than weekly sessions allow. Intensives are longer, concentrated, and designed to create meaningful movement in a short window of time.
