Hi there!
I’m Noel, and I’m here to support you in creating a greater sense of wholeness and ease in your life.
I provide trauma-informed therapy for adolescents and adults who want to feel more clarity, stability, secure attachment, and purpose.
My goal is to support you not only with gaining insight, but also in cultivating the skills and ability to carry those insights into everyday life beyond the therapy room.
You feel like you’ve done “the work”, but still feel stuck.
You can explain your pain, but you can’t seem to get out of it.
Understanding yourself isn’t the same as changing your patterns.
Awareness alone doesn’t change behavior.
You don’t need more insight, you need integration.
This is where I come in.
I work with adolescents and adults who are seeking meaningful change, whether that means healing from trauma, developing healthier relational patterns, or strengthening trust in yourself and others. My approach is grounded in the belief that healing happens in relationship.
With a holistic, trauma-informed approach, I am more interested in meeting you where you are rather than fitting you into a diagnostic box. Clients often describe my style as attuned, dynamic, and empowering. I help you find clarity in emotional chaos, allowing you to see your experiences in context through insightful reflections and depth-oriented questioning.
My practice integrates attachment-focused psychodynamic therapy, somatic experiencing, IFS/parts, contextual CBT, existential, and dialectical therapy to help you move beyond rigid or self-limiting patterns. I offer challenge when needed, without judgment or pressure. You will learn new ways of thinking, how to effectively navigate internal and external conflicts, regulate emotions, engage in more secure relational patterns, and how to become an active agent in your life. These skills will allow you to bridge the gap between insight and the meaningful change you’ve been looking for.
“The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.” – Carl Jung
