I specialize in helping adults improve their relationships with themselves and others. I offer proactive individual counseling to uproot and transcend negative self-beliefs, insecurities, and past traumas that leave you feeling stuck and overwhelmed. In my practice I support people with issues relating to: anxiety, depression, people-pleasing, codependency, extreme empathy, self-judgement, spiritual abuse recovery, trauma, grief, and relationship dissatisfaction. I support clients to cultivate self-compassion, develop healthy coping skills, learn effective communication tools, and build confidence to change patterns and heal.
I approach therapy from an anti-oppressive framework and strive to be culturally humble, anti-racist, trauma-informed, weight-inclusive, and LGBTQIA+ affirming. I see you as the authority on your experience and will work collaboratively with you to achieve your goals on your terms.
It's possible to build healthy emotional boundaries, overcome patterns that leave you feeling depleted and discouraged, and access your aliveness. Having a supportive therapeutic relationship can make that process easier. Please reach out for a free consultation if you'd like to explore working together.
