I believe in the human spirit and the potential in humans to learn, grow and change to better our lives and the lives around us. My ideal client is someone who finds themselves in patterns they want to become free from in order to be whether they are patterns that are deeply personal, relational, or familial. There may be issues of the past that include trauma, loss, adoption, family issues; it could be more recent issues around those same things or also gender identity, sexuality, race, being LGBTQ and wanting to create a family. You may be at a turning point in your life and want to find your own voice and knowing.
I will provide a space for you to talk and be heard; to see and be seen; to explore and be curious about things that may be hard or scary for you; to take risks and know there is a net if you want to fly and might be afraid of falling. I invite you to be an active participant in your own change. I will collaborate with you, and challenge and support you.
For some of you, the idea of therapy/counseling, is uncomfortable or not in your cultural understanding of seeking support. For others, you are very familiar with therapy. I can work with you wherever you are without judgement. Feel free to reach out to me and we can figure out if we are a good match for the work you want to do.
