Many of us have been discouraged from feeling what we are feeling. Told it's not polite to be angry, not "manly" to feel sad, being vulnerable is weak, and other falsehoods. I believe we are meant to feel a full range of emotion deeply and fully, and embrace both pleasure and pain so we can learn and grow. My approach to therapy is humanistic in nature, which is a mental health approach that emphasizes the importance of being your true self in order to lead your most fulfilling life. I invite you to unwind in a safe space, process your story, express your feelings, and make clear actionable plans for your health and wellness.
I use a holistic approach that goes beyond only focusing on the mind, but also pays attention to the messages of the body, and 'soul'. I believe that they are all connected, and if we can facilitate communication between the three parts we can lead a healthier and more authentic life. I provide a trauma-informed and harm reduction lens free of any judgements
If you are looking to work on a specific problem, or if you are simply curious as to what therapy can do for you, I am here to provide a safe space to learn and grow. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out.
