Born to Haul Band-Aids and Hope

 

I was that kid who couldn’t walk past a scraped knee or a broken friendship.
My mom kept bulk boxes of Band-Aids because I believed no one should hurt alone.
That “patch-it-up” instinct became the heartbeat of Unbound Phoenix Therapy — a space built on the belief that healing happens through relationship.

If the Map Didn’t Exist, I Drew One

 

Creativity has always been my way of staying connected when life got messy.
From launching a middle-school newspaper to studying social justice in India, I’ve always created the map when none existed.
Now, I help individuals, couples, and families do the same — sketching new routes toward understanding, repair, and belonging.

A Map-Maker for Healing (and Relating)

 

Most people who find me are stuck in cycles that keep love just out of reach —
partners feeling distant, families repeating old wounds, or individuals who’ve learned to protect rather than connect.

I specialize in trauma-informed relationship work for:

​

• Partners and families healing from disconnection or conflict

• Adults navigating complex PTSD and attachment wounds

• Neurodivergent or “neurospicy” folks trying to make relationships work in a world that often doesn’t fit

​

Together, we’ll build therapy around you — not a textbook version of who you “should” be.
My approach blends IFS-informed EMDR, emotionally-focused connection work, DBT skills, body-trust, sand-tray, and expressive arts to help you (and your people) find steady ground again.

​

I Walk the Walk

 

Every tool I use, I’ve lived.
I know how hard it is to show up, to rebuild trust, and to believe connection is still possible.
That’s why I meet clients as partners in the process — not projects to be fixed.

Why I Love This Work

 

Watching people who once thought they were “too broken” or “too far gone” start finding their way back — to themselves and to each other — is my favorite kind of magic.
It takes grit, grace, and a little gallows humor, and honestly, that’s my vibe too.
