Unbound Phoenix Therapy
Rise Unbound. Live Unapologetically.
I believe healing isn’t one-size-fits-all. Here, your quirks are welcome, your story matters, and we’ll get curious about the blind spots that keep you stuck.
Unbound Phoenix Therapy is a trauma-informed, LGBTQ-affirming therapy practice in Virginia. I provide therapy for adults, teens, children, couples, and families, specializing in complex trauma, neurodivergence, and relationship healing. Services are offered in-person in Northern Virginia and via telehealth across Virginia.
Trauma Therapy & PTSD Support
For when your past still hijacks your present.
-
Complex PTSD, attachment wounds, and “Big T” & “little t” traumas.
-
IFS-informed EMDR for re-processing the hard stuff without re-living it.
-
Creative tools—like sand-tray, expressive arts, and play—to help your nervous system speak the language it understands.
-
Safety and pacing first: we don’t rip off scabs; we help you heal the wound underneath.
Couples & Relationship Support
For love in all its forms—because relationships deserve good tools.
-
Emotionally Focused Therapy-informed work for deeper connection.
-
Polyamorous / ENM-affirming, kink-aware, and sex-positive guidance.
-
Communication repair, conflict-navigation, and intimacy-rebuilding.
-
Support for life-transition stressors—new parents, blended families, shifting roles.
Neurodiverse-Affirming & LGBTQ+-Centered Care
Come as you are—no need to mask or explain your pronouns.
-
Safe, affirming space for autistic, ADHD, AuDHD, and other neurodivergent folx.
-
Gender-affirming and LGBTQ+-inclusive therapy, with advocacy when needed.
-
Practical tools for executive-function challenges and sensory overwhelm.
-
Celebrating identities rather than pathologizing them.
Body Trust & Embodied Healing
More than body-positivity—this is about calling a truce with your body.
-
Learn to listen to your body’s cues instead of the diet-culture static.
-
Build self-compassion around food, movement, and appearance.
-
Re-establish trust with the body that’s carried you through it all.
-
Especially supportive for survivors of trauma and chronic shame.
Life Transitions at All Ages & Stages
Because change—chosen or not—can shake the ground under our feet.
-
From college launches to mid-life reinventions to retirement pivots.
-
Grief, identity shifts, career burnout, parenting transitions, or “just feeling stuck”.
-
Blending creative, practical, and evidence-based strategies to find your footing again.
