I also work with couples / individuals facing complex, difficult to diagnose chronic illnesses or issues surrounding family planning or fertility. A good therapeutic fit for my approach is someone interested in doing deep introspective work, exploring the roots underneath presenting problems and including the body in the process.

Life can often cause us to question who we are, where we fit in, and how to navigate its toughest moments. Perhaps you’re ready to begin working through the challenging traumatic experiences that are a part of your story and you are here seeking support. Perhaps you are struggling with finding your place in spaces that may question who you are based on your racial/cultural identity or your sexuality; or you’re simply exhausted with carrying physical, emotional, or sexually traumatic wounds and you would like a safe space to process these concerns. Your experiences are your truths but you can find support to make your future yours.

Do you want to overcome depression or anxiety and feel confident? Are you struggling with relationships? Do you find yourself getting angry quickly?

Good mental health is hard to achieve in isolation. I commend you for reaching out to share your troubles. I offer you a safe place to feel. Trusting is especially hard if you've endured more than most. Learning how to deal with what's inside is confusing if nobody taught you as a kid how to make sense of it all. Therapy is a unique process where as you dare to let a safe person experience the hurt alongside you, you'll feel less alone,"weird" and overwhelme of what's happening. When we feel less alone, we'll have courage to try what it's like to practice responses that won’t get us deeper into depression, shame and anxiety.
