Trauma can disconnect us from ourselves by creating shame and guilt and also with those we seek to be in relationship with by altering our sense of safety and trust. I want you to know that you are not broken. I want you to know your relationship can get unstuck. You do not have to choose between the parts of you- integration is possible. It is your body’s natural desire to heal that has led you here. Therapy is a safe space where you can open your heart and be yourself without judgment. It is a space to gain an awareness and understanding of the pain. I look forward to working with you to discover meaning, purpose, and hope.

I work with youth, adults, and couples dealing with anxiety, depression, adjustment challenges, and intense relationship dynamics. Changes in environment, health, or life experiences can bring powerful and unexpected shifts, or leaving individuals feeling overwhelmed. People seek therapy for various reasons, including managing emotional pain, loneliness, past traumas, or simply a desire for personal growth. In my experience, therapy can significantly reduce these difficulties, making life feel richer and more manageable.

Many of us learn early on that our belonging in this world depends on our ability to banish aspects of ourselves that cannot be safely held by others. We skillfully fold and shrink ourselves into the shapes that allow us to survive, sometimes with great reward for doing so, but find that our deepest longings go unmentioned and unmet. I am here to hold space for those parts which are too big, too unbearable to be held alone, so that my clients can expand in ways that help them contact their feelings, connect to their desires, and begin to find a home in the world.
