Are you struggling with anxiety and trauma and turning towards unhealthy coping mechanisms in an attempt to manage your emotions?

You're likely searching here because you need some help. Some guidance. You may be in crisis and need someone to talk to about what's happening inside of you. Or you may find yourself repeating the same patterns in relationships leading to emotional pain, anxiety and loneliness. Most of us tend to operate on autopilot allowing our unconscious mind to repeat patterns. Often, our past gets enacted in the present. I believe, that which can be named can be healed. When we have the courage to look inward in the presence of an empathetic other we experience the true freedom of psychotherapy. That freedom is awareness and choice.

I tend to think of therapy as tupperware, it’s the container where we can unload what is weighing us down. Our personal backgrounds; ethnicity, race, gender, sexuality, socioeconomic status, religion, (dis)abilities, to name a few, are integral to who we are.

Navigating healing while at the same time still existing within systemic oppression, marginalization, and erasure/assimilation is not easy. This is a safe container to do so.
