Therapy, at its most basic, is 'talking.' That’s why you’re reading through these profiles. You're hoping to figure out a good person to talk to about things that matter. If it helps, here is what experience has taught me: We are each unique. Our problems are equally unique. But all problems seem to grow from one common root: disconnection. Disconnection can be felt in many ways: insecurity, sadness, emptiness, pain, and anger. Troubled feelings such as these often lead to troubled responses, including but not limited to: anxiety, depression, addiction, disordered eating, relationship conflict, violence, self-harm and suicide.

I believe that there are many ways to get to a place of looking inward, tending to your inner child, and becoming your own bestfriend despite all odds and challenges that may be thrown your way. You can begin to trust your own intuition as you slow your racing thoughts down, start to feel comfortable sitting in your body again, and reconnect with yourself on a soul-level. So, let's do that together by first taking a deep cleansing breath over some tea. I know that therapy can feel incredibly overwhelming for newcomers, so I like to think of it as a cozy chat where you can feel heard, seen, and held in a safe space.

Have you been called needy? Or been called cold/distant by people you’re in relationship with? Do you find you vacillate between feeling needy or emotionally shut down? These issues are based on, what psychologists call, insecure attachment styles. These are relationship styles that we subconsciously learn when we are young and take with us into adulthood.
