Welcome! Do you have trouble loving and accepting yourself? Do you find it hard to feel a sense of belonging and connection with others? Therapy can help you to feel better about yourself, to feel freer to be your authentic self, and to form healthy attachments. I enjoy helping struggling couples and individuals who are experiencing: *Marginalization, oppression, exclusion *Conflict between gender/sexual identity and spiritual/religious beliefs *Breakups *Difficult relationships that trigger shame *Chronic low self-esteem. I believe that behind all feelings and behaviors are stories which make sense.
In therapy, you have the chance to give voice to your story, understand and accept yourself more, and grow toward a life of thriving. My style is collaborative and relational, with a goal of walking with you as you unlearn toxic narratives and experience your value and strength. Connections are healing, including in therapy, so finding a good fit matters.
I would love the chance to answer any questions you have about me and begin the process of getting to know you more. Let's connect over a free ~20-minute phone call to see if we might be a good fit. Feel free to reach out by email, phone, or my website. Thanks for stopping by and take care!
