What we don't let out traps us. We think, 'No one else feels this way, I must be crazy.' So we don't say anything. And we become enveloped by a deep loneliness. - Sabrina Ward Harrison There's no need to do this alone. I can parter with you in helping diminish the loneliness, the anxiety, and the heaviness. Together, we’ll explore the unconscious narratives, patterns, and behaviors that shape how you show up in the world. As we bring these into awareness, we can begin to reshape the stories that may no longer serve you, creating space for new ways of living that are aligned with your core self.
I have nearly 20 years experience in the field of Social Work. I work from a psychodynamic perspective, partnering with you to uncover unconscious patterns and learn from early relationships. We will use parts work to help you heal and have a more compassionate + trusting relationship with self. Using mindfulness, you will learn to better attune to yourself.
If you find yourself longing for a witness, even if fearful, I encourage you to reach out. If you are willing to get curious about the root of your symptoms in addition to reducing them, I encourage you to reach out. I look forward to meeting you and seeing if we might be a fit.

I specializes in areas of, anxiety, identity, grief, depression, sexuality, spirituality, life transitions, self-esteem, and relationships. My hope is that the relationship we build will become a container to explore what is underlying your symptoms and how you show up. The awareness you gain will enable you to have the option of showing up in a way that better serves you rather than in pattern.

I mainly draw on Relational and Psychodynamic types of treatment. This means the relationship we build will act as a tool for gaining insight and healing. It means we will explore early relationships, messages, and experiences, and become aware of patterns in an effort to gain insight. I also use parts work, which encourages a more conscious and compassionate way of relating to self.
