Our relationship with ourselves is life-long and at times, takes the back seat in our own lives. Perhaps you have felt overwhelmed as life continues to move forward while you have found less joy in things you used to love. You feel stuck as if you’re losing parts of yourself, or maybe you aren’t sure who you are just yet. As time has gone on, your relationship with yourself may have shifted as you navigated school, career and developing relationships and community. Our struggles may make it feel like we carry around a burden of pain. Life appears to find ways to enable us to walk around our pain or over it but not through it.
I am a licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate, and a National Board Certified Counselor with a master’s degree in Counseling, a bachelor’s degree in English Literature and Creative Writing and a minor in Women’s and Gender Studies. I have engaged with specialized trainings in neurodivergence, infertility and ACT therapy.
I am here to offer you the space to explore your experiences and pain without judgement. You may already have the answers within you. Let’s find them together. I invite you to connect with me here or through my website, which has more details about me, my areas of practice and theoretical approach.
