Hi, I'm Whitney
I’m a therapist who believes you deserve more than survival mode. I help women untangle old patterns, understand the roots of what they’re carrying, and feel more connected to themselves again. My style is collaborative and grounded. Think less “clinical formality,” more two humans doing meaningful work together.
Why I Do This Work
After serving hundreds of women and children in the domestic violence space, I witnessed first hand how trauma can shake a life apart. The self blame. The shame. The constant questioning of your own reality. But, I’ve also been grateful to see the other side of the process. The resilience. The breakthroughs. The quiet moments of “I am enough” and “I deserve goodness.” These moments are why I do what I do.
Before becoming a therapist, I worked in national mental health organizations supporting policy initiatives, leading large-scale awareness campaigns, and partnering with media and corporate leaders to make mental health more accessible. Those years taught me the importance of early intervention and shaped the way I show up for my clients today. You don’t have to wait for a crisis to deserve support.
How I Work
I am warm, direct, and collaborative, and I’m not exactly the silent head nodder type. We talk, we question, we get curious, and we follow the threads that actually lead to healing.
I blend EMDR, CPT, somatic therapy, and trauma-informed talk therapy in a way that feels steady and manageable. We slow things down, explore your nervous system patterns, and notice where old survival strategies are still running the show. The work goes deep, but it doesn’t have to feel heavy every second. There is always room for breath, connection, and moments of lightness.
Who I Help
The women who find me are smart, capable, and yet, exhausted from carrying things alone. Many feel disconnected from themselves or stuck in the same painful cycles. Some have tried therapy before but didn’t find the depth, safety, or clarity they were hoping for.
​
My job is to help you understand yourself, trust yourself, and feel rooted in who you are again.

A Little About Me Outside the Therapy Rooom
Outside of sessions, I’m a mom who is very aware of how much coffee one human can safely consume in a day. I’m a trained Pilates instructor, a big believer in getting outside for walks, and I'm convinced that any small accomplishment deserves a sweet treat. My comfort TV rotation is basically Friends and New Girl on an endless loop, and yes, I will absolutely talk Bravo with you.
