In the aftermath of traumatic experiences, life might feel like a bit of a dumpster fire. Weeks, months, or years afterwards, it can feel overwhelming and confusing to untangle the complex web of how trauma has affected your life, relationships, health, and wellbeing. Perhaps you're feeling disconnected from others or from yourself, struggling with trust, or finding it difficult to manage daily life. It may be the first time you're talking about it. These responses are normal reactions to abnormal situations, and you don't have to navigate them alone.

Over time we develop patterns of behavior that may have once supported us through a difficult time, but these ways of being may be hurting our ability to connect with loved ones or form new connections. Through our work together, we will reflect on how your past experiences may influence who you are today and identify interventions to support you in connecting with who you want to become. In addition to working with individuals, I enjoy supporting people better engage in the important relationships in their lives; this may be within a couple, but can also be in a parent-child relationship.

The psychic wounds of family turmoil, emotional neglect, and traumatic life experiences can be profound and run deep. Confusion, loneliness, fear, anger, and sorrow can hollow out the heart and leave in it an aching sense of shame, emptiness, inadequacy, brokenness, and maybe even hopelessness. We may feel disconnected from ourselves and the world around us, tangled up in unrelenting beliefs that tell us we are inherently flawed or somehow just not good enough, no matter how hard we try.

Navigating family, health, love, and work can be complicated, especially when one or more of those areas begin to slip into crisis. You might struggle to connect with yourself or your loved ones, build new relationships, or manage new hardships. Through non-judgmental discussion and an in-depth examination and contextualization of your symptoms, we'll develop solutions for a more resilient, connected, and fulfilling way of life. I frequently work with those navigating sudden or difficult life transitions, relational difficulties, depression, anxiety, identity exploration, and upsetting medical diagnoses.

With a therapeutic style that is compassionate, warm, relational and strengths-based, I collaborate with clients as they move towards their goals and desires. The clients I work with are often learning to cultivate healthy relationships, healing trauma, tending to anxiety, depression and neurodivergence (often late-diagnosed ADHD and/or autism), exploring identity (racial, gender, sexual etc.), grieving a loss, and/or cultivating a stronger sense of self-worth. If you would like to learn more, I would be happy to schedule a free consultation call!

You're here for two reasons: 1. Either to work on a persistent challenge or 2. To work through the repercussions of COVID. Either situation presents strong emotion. I will talk with you about both - they're connected - but I will gently (and insistently) remind you of the good things that are or that should be. Fundamentally, psychology twins with philosophy by asking the big questions (Who am I? What do I need? Why is it so? Could it be otherwise?). It carves a different path, however, in that it offers answers. I want to help you fall in love (again? the first time?) with your journey and, by extension, with the human journey.
