At Sunday Therapy, we cultivate authentic connection, strong relationships, and a more vibrant life through personalized mental health care services aligned to your goals.
I collaborate with dynamic, creative, and highly-sensitive adult individuals and couples who are ready to unravel how their lived experiences have impacted their lives thus far and understand how this can ultimately lead to a more fulfilling and authentic life. I specialize in complex trauma, specifically childhood developmental and relational trauma. Providing care for this adverse experience requires a respectful trusting therapeutic bond created through human connection, emotional regulation, and attunement. This is reparative work in which people learn to re-parent and heal through developmental phases that were limited in the absence of nurturance, love, and unconditional acceptance. We take our time.
I work best with those seeking a connection and relationship not merely diagnosis and treatment. I approach our work together from a non-pathologizing perspective holding space and curiosity for a nuanced view of the complexities of your human experience. This allows for a greater capacity of exploration at the root cause of trauma, stress, and dysregulation.
I offer relational, long-term mental health support often partnering with people for months to years with the option to meet weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or as needed. I also offer routine scheduling for those looking to establish consistency.
