Some gentle reminders: It's not too late for you + Having feelings means you are human + Not everyone will understand you + You deserve to heal from the things that weren't your fault + You don't have to abandon yourself to be loved + Your sensitivity is a strength, not a weakness + You can (learn to) trust yourself (again). My therapy style is intuitive, imaginative, soulful, and authentic. As a breast cancer survivor, I welcome women facing breast cancer to receive therapeutic, tender care during that challenging time. I am currently a Supervisee of Social Work, Supervised by Sue Traber, LCSW, 0904012364.
I view therapy as creative, sacred soul work. What often arises in this experience is attending to grief. Grief to feel the life you didn't choose. Grief for what happened (or what didn't happen) early in your life. Grief for relationships that fell apart or have changed. Grief for our changing world. It takes outrageous courage to face outrageous loss.
I invite you to a compassionate space to be with your inner and outer distress—whether it's anxiety, depression, loss, relationship challenges, or life transitions. Together, we'll slow down and traverse intense emotions without becoming overwhelmed, and work through past wounds, as you rediscover your authentic self.

I support individuals and families moving through transitions in their lives, recognizing that these changes can bring about feelings of loss, anxiety, and sadness-and also transformation. Childhood experiences can continue to impact our relationships with ourselves and others into adulthood and this can be disorienting. If you're curious to explore these inner and outer landscapes, I'm here.

What does practicing from an attachment lens mean in therapy? "Over the life span, the need for connection with others shapes our neural architecture, our responses to stress, our everyday emotional lives, and the interpersonal dramas and dilemmas that are at the heart of those lives."-Dr. Sue Johnson, Attachment Theory in Practice (p.5), 2019
