Many of us feel like we don't belong, carry burdens from past traumas, and struggle to balance caring for ourselves with having a fulfilling life. My approach will help you respond to intense emotions and memories with more curiosity and speak to the parts of you that feel self-critical, alienated, and alone in a more compassionate and nurturing voice. We will explore your unmet needs and help you express yourself with more vulnerability, confidence, and authenticity. You will discover that the person most equipped to help with your own healing is you, and you are never truly alone.

The ache for a sense of belonging is deeply human. This ache might show up as feeling displaced, isolated, lonely, misunderstood, or disconnected in your relationships. This battle may stem from a challenging life transition, the loss of a loved one or relationship, past trauma, or a feeling you just cannot name. I firmly believe that each of us carries the solutions within ourselves, shaped by our individual experiences; sometimes we just need a safe space to show up as we are to explore those parts within us.

Establishing yourself, and your identity, is a lifelong process. You are not alone when you face questions including: Who am I? What is my purpose? Who do I want in my life? What do I stand for? Why am I here? When we consider these questions, along with countless others branching from these, you might find yourself overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, or frustrated. Attempting to navigate this process, you may face societal expectations, dysfunctional family dynamics, economic challenges or other stressors operating against you. While desire to be stable, authentic, and true to self is shared, your story will always be unique.

The human experience can be filled with joy but also suffering, this chapter of your life is causing turmoil but you are resilient. Bouts of depression, negative self talk, daily anxieties and struggling with low self esteem no longer serve you, allow yourself to work alongside a trained professional to guide you through the process of healing. Therapy can help you increase confidence, empower you to create boundaries and aid in your conscious understanding of the interconnectedness of your mind, body and spirit.

Constant anxiety and exhaustion, right? And can we talk about the off-brand crankiness you feel so guilty about? I know you wish you weren’t, but you’re sensitive. Your superpower? You can tell with stunning accuracy what anyone around you is feeling and make sense of what would make the situation better. This makes you great in a crisis and a deft caregiver (and you have given a lot of care). But you can’t turn it off, so you struggle to know what your own needs and boundaries are, let alone meet them. I am neurodivergent with a history of complex trauma. I understand from the inside and I can help you make sense of yourself, too.

As an LMFT, I use a trauma-informed care approach to work with individuals, couples, and families in community and private practice settings. A few challenges that I have supported my clients with navigating include: anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, chronic stress, communication issues, emotional disconnect, healing from the damaging effects of familial and societal messaging, and negotiating more satisfying relationships.

I believe that healing of self lays the foundation for showing up authentically in relationships, doing fulfilling work, raising courageous and caring children, and building a more just and safer world for all. I believe that healing of self requires cultivating mind/body states that allow for joy, play, curiosity, and connection. I believe healing of self often means recognizing the ways in which we have been misled, harmed, and/or abused by larger social systems which were not designed for human thriving.

Do you feel sad, anxious, depressed or lonely? Are you struggling to manage the stressors of daily life? One of the bravest things you can do is to take the time to heal and to move toward your goals. Life can be very difficult. It takes time to truly understand your own story and the impact that it has on us emotionally. Although anxiety, depression, and trauma can often make us feel numb or stuck, you do not have to stay that way.
