About

If it feels overwhelming to name your feelings and say what you need, I'll meet you there and we'll do it together. We'll get clear on what's going well and what might be a barrier to deeper connections. We'll explore whether past wounds are showing up as present-day patterns and impacting how you relate to yourself and others. Your system has a way of communicating its needs, and sometimes, instead of listening, we push parts of ourselves away out of protection. You'll discover how to turn towards your wounds and needs in a compassionate way and strengthen self-advocacy around your very human needs, rights, and boundaries.

One of the most important parts of therapy (if not THE most) is YOUR level of comfort and trust within the therapeutic relationship. I offer a free 15-20min telehealth consultation for you to decide if my skills feel supportive to your current needs.
