It's common for our life stories to feel disjointed at times. Experiencing trauma, loss, or shame can make it challenging to integrate these difficult experiences into a coherent narrative. However, within a safe and nurturing relationship, it becomes possible to weave these experiences together and uncover a peaceful, wise, and empowered part of ourselves. My approach is influenced by psychoanalysis, object-relations, existential therapies, and internal family systems. I strive to embody compassion, non-judgment, and curiosity. I look forward to supporting you in your journey of healing.
