What do you fear? What do you long for? I have found that the answers to these questions often overlap, which can make us feel stuck, lost or out of control. You may feel like you've tried everything. You may be telling yourself that you are wrong or defective. Blaming ourselves for our pain is so normal and human. Know that here, you are not too broken. I view therapy as a no-expiration invitation to return to ourselves and a space where we reach for what has felt untouchable. I believe we can only work to the extent that you feel you can trust me. Because of this, we will give focused time to our relationship dynamic.
We will also look at your other relationships, values, beliefs and feelings. We will look at the meaning you've made of your pain. We will dig into the stories you tell. Gather around what lives in your body. We'll look deeply at what you desire, and what feels in the way. We will honor how you have survived, as all coping has roots in wisdom.
With your permission, we will relocate your innate ability to heal...the things you used to know in your bones that got lost along the way. If you are curious about what work with me would look like, I would love to connect with you. You don't have to be exactly sure of what you want before you reach out. If you hear truth and feel drawn in, let's talk.
