Counseling & Therapy Services | The Vibrant Heart Project

Healing Happens in Connection

You don't have to navigate this journey alone. Whether you're dealing with trauma, questioning everything you once believed, or finally ready to live as your authentic self, I'm here to support you.

The therapeutic relationship itself becomes a healing experience—perhaps the first place where you've felt truly seen and accepted. My approach integrates trauma-informed care, contemplative practices, and evidence-based techniques to help you reconnect with yourself and build the life you want.

Therapy Specializations

Specialized support for the challenges that matter most to you, delivered with professional expertise and lived understanding.

Religious Trauma & Spiritual Abuse Recovery

Reclaim your spiritual freedom and learn to trust your own inner wisdom

Religious trauma can leave you feeling guilty about normal human experiences, afraid of divine punishment, and unable to trust your own judgment. You might struggle with persistent shame, fear of abandonment by family or community, and confusion about what you actually believe versus what you were taught.

My approach focuses on helping you develop trust in your own inner wisdom, heal from inherited guilt and shame, and create boundaries with harmful systems while exploring spirituality that feels authentic to you.

Common experiences we address:

  • Persistent guilt about normal human experiences
  • Fear of divine punishment or community rejection
  • Identity confusion after leaving faith traditions
  • Family relationship struggles due to belief changes

Affirmative Therapy for LGBTQ+ Individuals

Find the courage to live authentically and build resilience

Your queerness is not an illness—but therapy still helps. Whether you're questioning your identity, navigating coming out, dealing with family rejection, or simply want support from someone who truly understands your experience, I provide specialized care for LGBTQ+ individuals.

Specialized support for transgender and gender non-conforming individuals: As a transgender therapist, I understand the unique challenges of gender dysphoria, transition decisions, family dynamics, and building resilience against discrimination.

What we'll work on together:

  • Processing your unique identity journey with someone who gets it
  • Building resilience against discrimination and rejection
  • Navigating family, work, and social relationships
  • Supporting you through any aspect of transition

Anxiety, Panic & Emotional Overwhelm

Transform your relationship with fear and discover your inner strength

When anxiety feels bigger than your ability to cope, when panic attacks leave you feeling like you're dying or losing control, when worry interferes with your daily life—you need more than just "calm down" advice. You need practical tools and understanding support.

My approach focuses on:

  • Understanding anxiety as a nervous system response, not a character flaw
  • Learning to work with your body's stress responses rather than fighting them
  • Developing practical tools for managing panic and overwhelm
  • Building capacity to stay present during difficult emotions

You'll learn:

  • Breathing and grounding techniques for immediate relief
  • How to interrupt panic cycles before they escalate
  • Ways to challenge anxious thoughts without dismissing feelings

Complex Trauma & PTSD Recovery

Heal the wounds that changed how you see yourself and reclaim your power

Trauma can look like intense emotional reactions, feeling disconnected from yourself, persistent self-doubt, or patterns of relationships that repeatedly hurt you. Whether your trauma stems from childhood abuse, identity-based discrimination, religious harm, or other experiences, healing is possible.

My specialized trauma healing approach:

  • EMDR to help your brain process traumatic memories safely
  • Somatic approaches that work with trauma stored in your body
  • Nervous system regulation to build capacity for calm and connection
  • Parts work to heal internal conflicts and self-criticism

Types of trauma we specialize in:

  • Religious and spiritual trauma
  • Identity-based abuse and discrimination
  • Childhood emotional, physical, or sexual abuse
  • Medical trauma and healthcare discrimination

Therapy for Men

Express yourself authentically and build meaningful connections

Society often teaches men to suppress emotions, leading to isolation and disconnection. Many men grow up learning that vulnerability is weakness, that asking for help means failure, and that the only acceptable emotion is anger.

In our work together, you'll learn to recognize and express the full range of your emotions, build deeper connections with partners, family, and friends, and develop a healthier relationship with yourself.

Common areas we explore:

  • Navigating expectations around masculinity
  • Processing anger and learning to express underlying emotions
  • Building emotional intimacy in relationships
  • Healing from father wounds or family-of-origin issues

Relationships are where our deepest wounds often surface—and where our most profound healing can happen. Whether you're struggling with communication, recovering from betrayal, or simply want to deepen your connection, relationship coaching can help.

What we'll work on:

  • Emotional regulation during conflict
  • Authentic communication skills
  • Understanding attachment patterns
  • Building trust and emotional safety
  • Navigating major life transitions together

This varies based on your goals and needs. Some clients find relief in a few months, while others engage in longer-term work. We'll discuss what makes sense for your situation during our initial conversations.

That's what the free 20-minute consultation is for! We can discuss your concerns, answer questions, and determine if we're a good fit—with no obligation.

Our first session is about getting to know each other and understanding what brought you to therapy. I'll ask about your history, current challenges, and goals. There's no pressure to share everything at once—we'll move at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
