About

Finding the right therapist isn't always easy. There needs to be a sense of connection, trust, and resonance. You want to feel seen, understood, and safe in the presence of someone who can hold all of your emotions while also inspiring hope and creating a sense of possibility. My intention is to create a space where all parts of you are welcome, even those you may have tried to hide, silence, or get rid of. You are not alone. And you don't have to heal alone. Each of us walks through life carrying some form of pain-whether it's heartbreak, trauma, fear, loneliness or shame. We may learn to manage that pain the best way we know how Some of us try to control it by striving for perfection, people-pleasing, staying busy, or tightly managing everything around us. Others avoid it by shutting down, distracting ourselves, dissociating, numbing out, or turning to behaviors that feel comforting in the moment but can also leave us feeling stuck or disconnected from our true Self.
