You thought you knew exactly where you were headed in life—until one day, you didn't. Maybe you know why. Maybe you don't. All you know is that you're so tired of trying to live life by everyone else's rules. You're ready to discover your own path, without apology—to let go of the self-doubt, the critical inner voice and the fear of others’ judgment that's been holding you back. You know you are ready for something new, but you don't want to do it alone. Change feels hard and scary—but even more, you're scared of being stuck. You’re ready to start walking your own authentic path…you just need some support to make it happen.
That's where our work comes in. In a warm and compassionate space, I am here to hold space for all of you. With specialized training in IFS, Psychedelic Integration Therapy, EMDR and more, I support individuals who want to explore their inner world, move through anxiety, depression, addiction & grief, heal from trauma, and create their own path in life.
As someone who also struggled in my earlier years, know that no matter what you bring to this space and no matter how you feel: you are valid and you are welcome here. I also understand that finding a therapist can be a source of anxiety itself, so when you're ready to take the first step, give me a call or send me an email. I look forward to connecting!
