Introduction

At Olive & Ash, I support individuals and couples navigating the painful and complex realities of betrayal trauma, sex addiction, and pornography addiction. These experiences often disrupt emotional safety, trust, and connection, leaving individuals and relationships feeling fractured and overwhelmed. In addition to my work with betrayal and addiction, I also specialize in working with individuals living with mood disorders, including bipolar disorder. Managing mood instability can feel exhausting and isolating, but with the right support, stability and a meaningful, fulfilling life are absolutely possible. Therapy is tailored to your unique needs and paced with care, offering education, grounding, and steady support along the way. My work is rooted in creating a calm, supportive space where healing can unfold thoughtfully and intentionally—helping clients move toward clarity, resilience, and lasting restoration.
