As we move through life, we develop patterns of thinking, feeling, relating, and processing to help us get by. Sometimes, these patterns serve us well. Other times, they can get in our way. In our work together, we will creatively and thoughtfully develop a space to learn about you - your experiences, your relationships, your thoughts and feelings and behaviors. Together, we will work to identify and untangle these patterns, trace their origins, deepen your insight and develop new goals. Through this process, many find a greater sense of fulfillment and clarity in navigating their personal and professional lives.

Connecting you with what matters to you. Too often our fears/worries limit our ability to deeply relate to others. Do you suspect others won't like what they see if you let them know you? Or do you have trouble liking yourself despite others saying you have a lot of strengths. Can't seem to stop judging yourself despite your accomplishments? Are you afraid to take chances with people, in your career, and in your personal development? I help people to stop judging themselves by how they think they fail to measure up. We'll free you from the baggage you've been carrying around and help you live in alignment with your values.

I work with people who are in the process of awakening from old, limited ways of seeing and being in the world. Awakening can be simple, such as when you start noticing that you haven't been present to your loved ones. It can also be deep and profound, like realizing that you're not happy and you want to live life in an entirely different manner. If you've been suffering or struggling in silence, it may be time to really focus on YOU and what you want out of life.

Over my career, I have worked with many folks who are in process of evaluating their lives, relationships, and values. This may be in conjunction with a mood disorder, questioning their relationship with substances, or seeking an understanding of the intersection of their identity, life events, and socio-political context. My hope is that we both bring our authentic selves into the room, acknowledging the inherent and invisible differences and privilege we each hold. You do not have to feel entirely ready for change to reach out for help. We all deserve support, exactly as we are.
