“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.” ~ Maya Angelou Seeking therapy can feel like a daunting task, especially if you are already holding life challenges that have become too exhausting and heavy to carry on your own. Whatever has brought you to this place, you are taking an incredibly courageous step in addressing whatever lies between you and who you want to become. Through our therapeutic time, I provide an accepting, safe, and non-judgmental emotional and physical space for you to show up as your true and authentic self and unpack your story as it makes sense to you.
I have worked with individuals in all walks of life and have more recently worked specifically with clients within the LGBT+ community who are navigating the nuances of sexuality, personal/ dating relationships, family relationships, religion and spirituality/ religious trauma, and other life traumas.
I approach clients in a person centered manner where you are ultimately the expert and I use modalities as they are useful to you. I am also a big believer in the healing power of nature in the therapy process and can schedule our sessions as walk/hike and talk time if you prefer. Give me a call and let’s talk about how I can work with you in this next step.
