Somatic and trauma-informed therapy for individuals and couples ready for real, lasting change

Therapy offers an opportunity to deepen your relationship with yourself and with the people in your life. It is a space for insight, reflection, and meaningful change, but insight alone is often not enough.

If you feel stuck in the same patterns despite understanding them, your nervous system may still be operating in survival mode. You need more than just talk therapy.

At The Wilde Compass, therapy is rooted in the belief that healing happens through both mind and body. Using a trauma-informed, holistic, and multicultural approach, our work will focus on helping you move out of chronic stress, anxiety, and overfunctioning and into a more grounded, connected way of living.

  • For clients ready to understand patterns and shift them in real life.

    This work is active, honest, and grounded in application, not just insight.

    Together, we look at what keeps certain cycles in place, how they show up in your body and relationships, and what needs to shift for things to feel different outside of session.

  • For couples who want more than communication tools. Many relational patterns are protective strategies that developed over time. The work is about understanding those patterns and creating new ways of responding to one another.

    We focus on the patterns underneath conflict: how you protect, pursue, withdraw, or shut down. And how those cycles keep you disconnected.

    For couples who feel stuck in the same cycles and want to understand what’s underneath the conflict.

    This includes support for:

    • rebuilding trust after betrayal or infidelity

    • infertility-related strain on relationships

    • communication breakdowns and recurring conflict cycles

    • emotional and physical intimacy challenges

    • attachment dynamics and pursuit/withdrawal patterns

    • ethical non-monogamy (ENM) and polyamorous relationship structures

    • sexuality, desire, kink, and erotic connection

    This work is about understanding patterns, not assigning blame. The goal is to build a relationship that is more emotionally safe, honest, and connected.

    ✨ Clinical Specialities:

    • Boundaries around emotional intimacy

    • Communication during conflict

    • Ethical non-monogamy (ENM) and polyamory

    • Sex, intimacy, and sexual dysfunction

  • A significant part of my perspective is grounded in lived experience navigating highly stressful roles successfully. As the Public Information Officer (EPIO) for The Raleigh Fire Department, a leadership consultant managing multimillion-dollar budgets, a LGBTQ+ nonprofit founder, an entrepreneur, and clinician, I’ve worked in environments where pressure is constant, stakes are high, and burnout is often normalized rather than addressed.

    My background informs my clinical work with first responders, healthcare professionals, and other high-responsibility roles where chronic stress, emotional fatigue, and hypervigilance are often part of the job. I understand how systems shape behavior and how survival-based patterns can become deeply embedded over time.

    In addition to therapy, I offer organizational consultating and workshops focused on leadership, workplace culture, staff wellbeing, and high-stress environments. This work integrates clinical insight with practical strategy to support healthier, more sustainable systems.

    My practice serves organizations navigating complex human dynamics: reputational challenges, internal culture shifts, leadership development, and supporting staff through high-stress environments. Work may include strategic crisis communication and public-facing messaging guidance, as well as consultation during periods of transition or organizational strain.

    Leadership teams can also partner on building cultures that function inclusively in practice, not just on paper. This involves assessing systems, refining communication strategies, and helping leaders create environments where staff feel genuinely supported, respected, and equipped to do their best work.

    In addition to consulting, speaking engagements, trainings, and workshops are available on mental health, organizational wellbeing, crisis response, reputation management/branding, and inclusive leadership. Sessions are grounded in real-world application and tailored to your organization's needs, whether for a conference, staff retreat, or internal training.

    Across both clinical and consulting work, my focus remains the same: helping individuals and systems move out of chronic stress patterns and into more sustainable ways of functioning, relating, and leading.
