I'm not broken, just bent - as the wise Pink once said. We are never truly "broken," just human. Each of our unique experiences, traumas, biology, and environment have all played a role in shaping our current thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. And the good news is, meaningful and lasting change is possible for everyone. When we work together, we'll start by gaining an understanding of what brought you to therapy. From there, we'll dive deeper, uncovering the underlying patterns and root causes behind your struggles. My approach blends evidence-based modalities like EMDR with the wisdom of the body, mind, and spirit.
We might incorporate breathwork, meditation, or other creative practices to help you get into a deeper state of self-awareness and healing. There is so much more to wellness and healing than just talking through our problems. As a committed runner, vegan, and proud member of the LGBTQ+ community, I bring a compassionate, growth-oriented mindset to our work.
I won't suggest anything I'm won't commit to myself. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, low mood, trauma, or simply feeling stuck, I'll be your enthusiastic partner in growth and transformation. If you're ready to create lasting change, together let's heal your past, embrace your present, and expand into the best version of your future.
