Hi, I’m Nora
I'm an integrative psychotherapist, which means I pull from multiple approaches — somatic work, skills-based methods, parts-based therapy — and use what actually fits you, rather than running the same playbook with everyone regardless of whether it's working.
Whether you are new to therapy, or just done with purely intellectual therapy, I work best with people who are ready to actually feel things shift–in your body and your mind. Sometimes understanding your history and naming your attachment style just makes you more articulate about the problem.
My style is direct and honest, and I'll tell you what I notice. I also genuinely care about the people I work with, which means I'll help you identify the patterns that are hurting you — and stay solidly by your side as you work through them. Sessions tend to involve more laughter than you might expect from something that also sometimes involves crying. That's intentional. Warmth and honesty aren't opposites.
What I care about: Helping people build a genuinely sturdy sense of self — one that doesn't depend on external validation or performing okayness. Getting through the parts of life that shake your identity loose: big transitions, relational ruptures, the slow erosion that comes from living out of alignment for too long. Figuring out who you actually are, and learning to trust that person.
Who I work with: People with complex trauma backgrounds. Neurodivergent adults. Teens. Musicians and other creatives. Couples and partners in non-traditional relationship paradigms. Anyone navigating identity, major life transitions, or the long slow work of learning to feel at home in yourself.
LGBTQ+ affirming. Kink aware and non-monogamy affirming. You don't need to explain yourself or brace for a reaction. You're welcome here as you are.
Zankou
Zankou Chicken is a deaf-blind rescue dog and an unofficial member of the practice. She's a reminder that connection doesn't require sight or sound — just showing up. She has a reputation for appearing during sessions when the timing feels right, and clients tend to love her for it. Off-duty, she can be found snuggling, riding shotgun, or investigating snack situations.
Dr Steve Brule
Better known as Doodle, Dr. Steve Brule has logged thousands of hours overseeing both massage and psychotherapy sessions over the course of a distinguished career. Like many busy clinicians, his schedule is demanding — but he makes time for brief check-ins, typically conducted by walking across the keyboard. His methods are unorthodox. His intentions are good.
