You might be afraid therapy is not for you. Will a therapist “get you”? Can you bring ALL of yourself into therapy, and not be judged or put in in a box? There are messy parts of your life and the idea of talking about them might be a little terrifying.
I specialize in working with folks who feel this way. I welcome all the things about you and your experiences that make you unique and brought you to where you are today. There are some parts you may be immensely proud of, and other things you may spend a lot of energy trying to hide. I welcome all of you here. I will work with you to support your innate wisdom and wholeness.
My areas of focus include:
• Healing from attachment trauma and CPTSD • Building connection and navigating relationships • Self-exploration • Recovering from past traumas, including sexual assault
• Psychedelic integration • Somatic, body-based approaches to healing
• Undoing shame • Exploring ethical non-monogamy dynamics • Finding your power and joy
If you’re seeking a safe and supportive space to heal, grow, and create the life you desire, I’m here to walk that journey with you. Please feel free to reach out for a free 20 minutes consultation so we can discuss if we might be a good fit for one another.
