As your therapist, I will be compassionate and authentic. I will invite you into a healing space, nudging as needed, but never pushing beyond where you are ready. We will collaboratively identify steps to reach your goals. I will help you heal from pain, develop relationships that affirm you, cultivate hope, and empower you to become a more self-compassionate and authentic you. “I’m not enough” is a fear I’ve wrestled with, and a theme I constantly hear from clients who have experienced trauma, battled identity-based -isms, are wrestling with the complex emotions of being a teenager, and/or are coping with the stress of parenting.
Some of the questions we may explore are: “What if you matter simply because you exist? What if past hurt/betrayal doesn’t define you? What if you allow yourself to be human - flawed and powerful - instead of Wonder Woman or Superman?” I strive to help my clients cultivate self-compassion in their lives, bringing about healing, freedom, and hope.
I provide affirming and culturally responsive care for those who experience identity-based oppression. I am passionate about serving those who have experienced trauma and also specialize in empowering and supporting moms, adoptive families, and those experiencing anxiety or depression. I offer individual, family, and group teletherapy for ages 10 and up.
