Everyone needs a safe space where we can put down our armor and be our true selves. To say how we’re really feeling. Without that opportunity, our batteries wear down pretty fast. You might be someone others rely on, who’s used to coping, pushing through, and making it work … but inside, it feels like a lot. Whether you're a survivor of childhood trauma, domestic violence, going through a breakup, friendship drama, or just feeling lost in your career path, I can help you make sense of what happened and find a way forward that feels true to you.
Studies show that the best managers aren’t people who never ask for help. What they do differently is ask for help when a problem gets to a 5 or 6 instead of waiting for it to escalate to a 9 or 10. Whether you're in crisis or just have a quiet sense that something isn’t right, therapy can truly help. Nobody expects you to figure everything out on your own.
My technique is a holistic blend of Transpersonal Psychology, CBT, Gestalt, Compassionate Inquiry, Narrative Therapy, Polyvagal Theory, Bowen Family Systems, Inner Child Work, Ancestral Healing, and Post-Traumatic Growth. My framework is creative, progressive, feminist, pro-choice, anti-racist, queer, trans, poly, and sex worker friendly.
