You aren't meant to go it alone. We make sense of ourselves through our connection with others. Learning to pay attention to your ways of being in this world, without judgment or shame, is modeled in healthy relating. Many of us haven't experienced or seen healthy relationships. We find ourselves repeating behaviors we dislike or reacting to mistreatment. Relationships are as unique as the individuals engaged in them, meaning one-size-fits-all answers do not exist to resolve differences. Replacing prominent cultural beliefs that disrupt intimate connection and learning skills to be with discomfort can change everything for us.

Therapy can be a transformative journey, one that holds the potential to foster feelings of radical acceptance and self-compassion, cultivate a sense of inner peace, and provide healing and care to each and every part of you. Developing awareness of yourself and your relationships can often be the first step toward creating change. Together, we'll identify your strengths, explore patterns that may be holding you back and give space to those deeper parts of you that have longed to be seen and understood. We will also work through any events or self-talk that may be creating distress or keeping you stuck.

You may be experiencing concerns related to trauma, family history, relationships, identity development, personal growth, spirituality and sexuality/sexual identity. If so, the process of finding support can be challenging, and it can difficult to know how to find a clinician with a style that best supports you and your concerns. I believe that the first step in the process is to provide a space to support understanding your unique experiences and perspectives.

Seeking support is sign of courageousness and strength. When we face challenging times, difficult emotions can leave us feeling alone and overwhelmed. Ideally, such times are opportunities to deepen our understanding of ourselves and of the lessons that have been presented to us. This path is a process of expressing our feelings, exploring our inner lives, and discovering our true and authentic natures. I believe that our well-being is rooted within us, although finding it can be complex therefore making growth difficult to experience.

Through both my work as a therapist and my own life, I've often found myself in awe the innate human capacity to heal. And the more I do this work, the more in awe I am at how so much of healing begins with no longer being alone in hard things. In my therapeutic work I've witnessed the incredible resilience and transformation that can emerge when a safe space is held for one's story and experience. I continue to stand in awe of that resilience.

I believe therapy offers us a space to deepen our self-understanding, find language for our experiences that feel nurturing, and to move beyond our patterns of survival towards a greater sense of integrity, meaning, self-worth, and joy. Amidst the sometimes harrowing experiences of the world outside, I see my role as a therapist to be an anchor of safety and solidarity. I prioritize relational attunement, compassion, and the flexibility needed to address what is arising in the here and now.
