Your Trauma Informed Therapist in Cape Coral

Hi Kettle, I’m Pot!

I see you, the hyper-independent adult who's tired of holding it all together. Being "the strong one" is f*cking exhausting.

 

I know, because I’ve lived it.

 

When you've spent most of your life surviving solo, asking for help doesn’t just feel uncomfortable, it feels down right unnatural, even when it's right in front of you.

 

That’s why I don’t take this work lightly. I’ve been in that client seat; nervous, guarded, trying to find words for pain I didn’t fully understand.

 

And that experience is a huge part of why I do what I do now.

 

This isn’t therapy that tiptoes. It’s real, raw, compassionate AF trauma-informed work. It's grounded in lived experience, backed by neuroscience, rooted in nervous system awareness, and designed to actually help you shift the patterns that have been running the show for way too long.

 

So whether you’re carrying trauma, stuck in toxic relationship cycles, battling anxiety, or running on emotional fumes, we’re not circling that pain. We’re getting to the damn root.

 

You don’t have to carry the heavy shit alone anymore.

Break the Cycle + Heal the Root + Rewrite Your Story = Your Most Badass Self 

For the One Who Always Keeps it  Together,

I know you’re tired. And it's not the kind of tired a nap or a vacation fixes. It's the kind of tired that’s woven into your bones.  Into your nervous system.  Into the way you brace for impact… even when technically nothing’s“wrong.”

 

You’ve carried too much, for too long. And you’ve gotten so good at looking okay, that the tension behind your smile or the storm under your skin goes unnoticed. Your strength gets praised, but your struggle goes unseen because you’ve mastered the art of hiding it.  And that's lonely as hell. But the part that hurts most?

 

No matter what’s going on, you still feel like you have to earn softness, rest, or even space to just exist.  You’ve learned to keep the peace by abandoning your own. And now, you’re sitting in the wreckage of burnout, wondering how the hell it got this far.

But here’s what I want you to know, what I need you to hold, even if it feels foreign right now:

 

You don't have to shrink or play small to be safe.

You don’t have to keep bleeding to be seen.

You don’t have to stay in overdrive to be loved.

You don’t have to hide the mess to be worthy.

 

You’re not too much.
You’re not too messy.
And you’re sure as hell not broken.

You’re a whole, brilliant, messy ass human, just like so many of us, craving space to finally not be the one holding it all. This untamed space can be that for the part of you that's tired of "faking it till you make it'. 

 

But no matter what your path looks like from here, you deserve to heal and finally put the heavy shit down... for good.


Because truth is, it was never yours to carry in the first place

WHAT MAKES WORKING WITH ME SO DIFFERENT

Let’s be real, you’re not here for polite nods and generic questions. 

 

You’re here because you’re exhausted from circling the same pain over and over again without relief that feels complete.  You’ve already done the journaling, the talking-it-out, maybe even years of therapy… and still feel like something deeper hasn’t budged.

That’s where I come in.

The work we do meets you where you are, but it doesn’t leave you there. Together, we get underneath those patterns that have been silently running the show; the trauma, the protective beliefs, the nervous system responses you didn’t choose but had to develop in order to survive. We get to the root of it all. 

 

You don’t have to water yourself down here. Bring the big feelings, the sharp edges, the realness you’ve been holding back. Drop the “I’m fine.” Say what you’ve never said out loud, yes even the stuff you deleted from your notes app because it felt like "too much."

 

This isn’t therapy where you perform. This is where you finally stop pretending and start healing for real. 

Why therapy in Cape Coral Florida is different with me

My Untamed Philosophy:

DIRECT.  COMPASSIONATE AF.  EVIDENCE-BASED.

I don’t believe in surface-level therapy or forcing healing into a clinical box. My approach is equal parts research-backed and real-life tested. Yes, I’m trained in EMDR, CBT, DBT, parts work, and nervous system-based therapies. But my approach isn’t just based in certifications, it’s shaped by what actually helps people feel safe and supported in real-time.

 

I’ve sat in rooms where therapy didn’t feel accessible, and I’ve built this space to be the opposite: grounded, collaborative, and built around your pace, not a checklist.


Direct when it counts. Compassionate AF always. Rooted in science, but built around YOU... your pace, your patterns, and your voice, so you can stop circling the pain and finally start shifting it.  We don’t rush. We don’t fake progress.

We go where the real shifts happen and we go there together.

MORE THAN PROFESSIONAL,

it's personal

If you’ve been holding it all together for so long that even the idea of breaking down feels like failure, you’re exactly the kind of human I do this work for.

 

I’ve walked that tightrope of survival mode, where burnout becomes the norm and vulnerability feels dangerous. That lived experience shapes the way I show up in this work: with presence, realness, and without asking you to filter yourself.

 

You don’t need to be fixed and you definitely don’t need more coping skills stacked on top of unhealed pain. You need deep, honest healing that actually lands.

 

That’s what this work is built for. And that’s what we’ll do, together

The Hills I'll Die On 

(aka my core values)

MESSY IS HUMAN

You don’t need to have it all together to do the work, that’s not a requirement here. Come exactly as you are: overwhelmed, shut down, on fire, or hanging on by a thread...all of it belongs. We work with what’s real, not what’s polished.

YOU'RE NOT BROKEN,

YOU'RE SURVIVNG

The intense reactions, the protective walls, the self-sacrifice that left you in pieces, that’s survival, NOT failure. Your coping isn’t something to fix, it’s something to understand and shift. 

FIERCE COMPASSION

 I’ll call you on your sh*t, with humor, heart, and absolutely zero judgment. Not because what happened to you is your fault, but because you deserve to carry it differently or finally put it down for good.

Are We a Good Fit?

We Might Be If...

  • You’re an over-achiever, exhausted, and ready to stop carrying it all alone.
     

  • You’re not afraid of cussing, crying, or cracking open the hard shit to finally feel better.
     

  • You’ve tried therapy before but it never really landed, you’re ready for something deeper.
     

  • You want a therapist who keeps it real, brings the science and the soul, and doesn’t shy away from the messy middle.
     

  • You’re looking for trauma-informed work that’s nervous-system based, somatically aware, and tailored to you, not some cookie-cutter protocol.
     

  • You’re open to modalities like EMDR Intensives, parts work, and somatic healing, even if you’re new to them.

We Might NOT If…

  • You’re just looking to vent weekly and aren’t ready to dig deeper or challenge long-held patterns.
     
  • You need a therapist who is strictly buttoned-up, neutral, or avoids swearing, this ain’t that.
     
  • You’re not comfortable with trauma-focused work or exploring body-based/nervous system healing.
     
  • You’re not open to being gently called in when your patterns show up in the room (with love and zero shame).
     
  • You’re looking for couples therapy, crisis services, or court-mandated treatment (I don’t provide those).

Ready to stop performing & start healing for real?
