Being true to yourself in a changing world can be challenging. Therapy can help you to clarify who you are, what you believe, and how to get on the path you want to take. Counseling is an investment in yourself and a chance to be intentional with the life you have ahead. Life’s transitions and obstacles, whether they be internal, external, or systemic, can be made easier with some assistance. Holding space, bearing witness, identifying patterns, and highlighting your strengths: my role adjusts to your needs. My clients are able to share their whole selves as they work towards becoming their best selves.

A Traumatic experience is like an injury and can have a long lasting effect and impact the way you perceive and interact in the world. Individuals experiencing trauma may have difficulty regulating emotions such as anger, anxiety, sadness and easily feel overwhelmed, numb and shut down. Trauma not only affects our relationship with ourselves but impacts our relationship with others. I am also a TFMR Mom that had a Stillbirth. I am passionate about serving other parents who have experienced TFMR, Stillbirth and Child loss at any point. The grief that accompanies this loss is tremendous and isolating. I am here to help.

Life is challenging when you feel like you don't fit in. Navigating your identity in a world that doesn't always understand is tough. Whether you're part of the LGBTQ+ community, neurodivergent, or from a marginalized background—society's expectations might feel overwhelming and exhausting. Seeking a safe space to explore these feelings and embrace your unique qualities without judgment is important. Life should be more than just surviving day to day.

The reality of your life and the expectations you held for it feel misaligned. You’re not sure how things have gotten to this point. From an early age, you were forced to confront challenges that shaped how you thought, felt, and interpreted your world. Without the proper coping skills to process your experiences, it became easier to simply detach from your feelings and disconnect from the world around you. This method of coping has helped you make it through tough times, but now it’s getting in the way of what you want out of life. You crave deep connection with yourself and others, you're just not sure how to find your way back.

As your therapist, my goal is to create a space where you feel safe and supported on your path of healing and self-discovery. I believe that we each have a unique story and as humans we are capable of holding many conflicting truths. We can love our lives and still experience anxiety and overwhelm from the responsibility of it all. I am here to listen and collaborate, with empathy and without judgment. Together, we can explore how therapy can help you develop deeper understanding and self-compassion, address self-limitations like perfectionism and shame, and discover deeper meaning and purpose from life.

Wherever you’ve been, however you’ve arrived, I’m glad you are here. To me, therapy is about taking time and space to listen to our bodies and emotions, with the hope of allowing us to reconnect with our inherent wisdom. We don't lose touch with this wisdom by accident. Trauma, unhealed wounds, and oppression separate us from our wisdom and intuition, and impact our ability to access all parts of ourselves. You and your body carry so much, from the grief and resilience of those who came before you, to the stress of everyday life. You were never meant to carry it all on your own.
