You want to love and be loved, but something keeps getting in the way. That something is usually fear of being hurt again, fear of failing, and fear of not having the connection you truly desire. That fear is as old as you are, and it stained every attempt at intimacy and a loving relationship. You learned to over-function, to distract yourself, or to be overly accommodating to mask the fear, and no one sees the real you. Until now. You are ready to be seen. This time, you are ready to open yourself to love, but you need practical ways to move past the fear and release the joy and affection that you have to share with a partner.

Are you feeling stuck in your relationships with your partner, family, and colleagues? Are you feeling powerless sometimes? Do you feel like you're never good enough in your relationships, your family, your job? Do you feel lonely even though you are in a relationship? You are not alone. As human being, we all share foundation needs: to connect to people, to feel loved and valued, and be able to love ourselves and others. Sometimes we just get lost in survival patterns developed by trauma and daily stress.

Throughout the course of our lives, all of us experience challenging relationship dynamics, family expectations, losses, traumas, societal pressures, oppressive structures, and/or shifts in our identity. Due to these, over time we may find ourselves disconnected from our sense of self and no longer clear on what we need, want, or feel. We may struggle to be present or to be in tune with our bodies. We may feel like we're living for others, rather than for ourselves. Therapy is one way that we can process, heal, and understand these experiences in order to re-embody who we are and who we want to be.

Our painful experiences and the conditions of our society often push us to disconnect from our authentic selves, relationships, communities, and the world around us. I view healing as a process of reconnection. In our work together, we will aim to make sense of your story, explore all the parts of you that make you who you are, and work through places where you feel stuck. Through this process, my hope is that you can live your life with more agency and authenticity, more skills and tools to manage the challenges, and more capacity to experience ease, connection, and the full range of human emotions.

I know starting therapy can be hard. I hope sharing about who I am as a therapist helps clarify if I feel like a good fit for you. Therapy is a relationship that centers you. I view connection and authenticity as strengths. I will take you and your needs seriously while celebrating your joy. I center consent and empowerment, depathologize responses to harm (systemic or otherwise), and value lived experience. I am non-judgmental, interested, understanding, and trust your self-knowledge. I show up attentively, with warmth and care. I believe in those I work with and am excited for what you will create for yourself.

I am a relational-somatic (body-centered) therapist with a focus on trauma. I believe healing involves knowing all aspects of oneself more deeply, and in doing so, recognizing, honoring and cultivating compassion towards how we came to be, and opening to who we can become. Many of us carry a legacy of trauma on some level. I aspire to help pace and heal places that hold trauma and attachment wounds for those I work with. My wish is to both respect felt limitations, as well as gradually increase one's capacity to be with challenging internal and external experiences–to create a greater capacity for wholeness.

Update 11/5/24: I am seeing clients in person! Welcome, this is not your average therapy practice. Have you been thinking that self care is overrated? Professional support and community care are available. I match new and long term clients to groups that offer affordable support on a weekly or biweekly basis. I refer to a close network of trusted healers and medical professionals. I maintain a lending library of books that complement our work. No therapy is value neutral and I welcome your political analysis.
