I bring a professional background of working in the non-profit sector, and teaching both domestically, and while living abroad for 13 years. I am privileged to work with adults who, despite feeling vulnerable and overwhelmed by the weight of their experiences, show a deep desire to heal and explore. You may struggle with fear, anxiety, or self-doubt, but you demonstrate courage by opening up, engaging in the therapeutic process, and trying to find meaning and a path forward from your experiences. You are willing to engage with painful emotions, even when it’s uncomfortable, and take steps—no matter how small—toward feeling better.
I help clients identify and reconnect with strengths they may not realize they have or felt detached from - and work together to address blocks which may be preventing progress. I utilize a trauma informed approach and emphasize inner resources to heal and grow, returning to a life in alignment with your values, and challenging unhelpful thought patterns.
In our first session, we will explore your well-being by examining biological, psychological, and social factors. We will cover pertinent medical history, mental health issues, and social influences like relationships and stressors. I look forward to meeting you and beginning our best work.
