My clients are high-functioning adolescents and adults who outwardly look like they have it all together but don't always feel that way. Some live up to other people’s expectations but not their own. Others grew up in a chaotic household with secrets and work hard to keep up appearances. I believe that it is a radical act to feel whole and centered in oneself while living an authentic life. Our personal history does not have to determine our future. It is possible to choose growth, find meaning in painful experiences, reclaim injured parts of ourselves, reawaken intuition and creativity, and be who we always were meant to be.
I collaborate with my clients to search for the unconscious origins of symptoms like depression, anxiety, insomnia, anger, or numbness. We examine trauma history, difficult emotions, negative beliefs, dreams, symbols, family dynamics, and social conditioning. Truly conscious choice then becomes available and major shifts can be made with gentle adjustments.
Congratulations on taking this step to bravely advocate for yourself and seek support. Let’s talk about embarking together on a journey towards transformative healing and a more hopeful, fulfilling life. I'm looking forward to hearing all about you.
