There are some hardships in life that cannot be easily forgotten. These experiences shape how we view ourselves and relate to others. As a clinician and clinical supervisor, I recognize the pull to re-enact familiar pain. Through a strong therapeutic alliance, we can learn from the past, gain awareness in the present, and build a safer, more empowered future.
The ultimate goal is to learn to dance with our spirits and transform our struggles into sources of strength. As a clinician and clinical supervisor, I’m not here to change you, but to walk beside you—bearing witness, offering guidance, and honoring the wisdom within your journey.
Sometimes, we just need someone to truly listen—without judgment, without expectation. As a clinician and clinical supervisor, I offer a space grounded in compassion, not transaction. In a world built on reciprocity and noise, let’s slow things down and confront the subtle, often unseen forces that weigh on us. Healing begins with being heard.
