You are the caretaker but lately you are not sure how much longer you can keep it all together. Beneath the surface, past trauma, heartbreak, and fractured relationships shape every moment of your day. You give endlessly to others while wondering if anyone would notice if you finally broke. You are exhausted, stretched thin, and afraid to let anyone see the cracks. You long to care for yourself as fiercely as you care for everyone else. Therapy can give you that space. Together we will confront the weight you carry, untangle the past, and rebuild your sense of safety, strength, and hope so you can finally feel like yourself again.
I help you learn to trust yourself, perhaps for the first time, and notice when your brain is lying so you can respond differently. Using somatic therapy to calm your emotional brain and cognitive therapy to engage your thinking brain, I guide you through overwhelming life changes. I will help you to feel calmer, more confident and aligned with your values.
Choosing therapy is a big decision and it’s important that you feel safe and understood. In just a few sessions you may start to notice your mind quieting, your emotions making sense, and a sense of control returning. Together we will uncover what has been holding you back and guide you toward confidence, clarity, and a renewed sense of purpose.

Your experience with me will start with an assessment, basically, I think of this as data collection; you will help me get a solid understanding of what is going on; you will set goals and I will recommend a course of treatment based on your specific needs. The treatment modality chosen will be throughly explained to you, as it is SO important for you to know the WHY of what we are doing.
