The clients I serve are often in need of a helping hand through some of life's toughest challenges. Maybe you’re carrying the weight of past trauma or loss, or you’re struggling with anxiety and self-doubt that you just can’t shake. Maybe life has felt like a series of transitions, and you’re trying to hold it all together without a chance to pause. Or maybe you feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, but don’t know how to break free. Perhaps you have felt like a perpetual outsider and need help finding yourself and your community. Together we can help you help yourself move toward a more fulfilling life.
We’ll explore how your early relationships, cultural background, societal pressures, and current circumstances all shape the way you move through the world. I use an attachment-based, psychodynamic approach — with a feminist and intersectional lens — to help you make sense of both past and present experiences.
Starting therapy can feel scary, especially if you’ve spent a lot of time feeling like you didn’t quite belong or had to carry everything on your own. You might be feeling lost, stuck, overwhelmed, or just unsure of how to start. If this feels familiar to you, please reach out for a free consultation call, and I will do my best to answer your questions.
