Are anxiety and low self-worth regulars in your life? The process of recognizing old stories, beliefs, and patterns can be overwhelming. It can bring up confusion, fear and grief. Changing old ways, that once kept you safe, can feel ungrounding and chaotic. Shifting what you've been familiar and comfortable with is deeply challenging and takes a great deal of strength and vulnerability. I believe healing, growth and change are lifelong practices, and transformation requires time, space, patience and self-compassion. Therapy can offer a safe and caring relationship that supports you in doing this life changing work.
With curiosity, compassion, and respect, I will support you in gaining the inner resources needed to break free of what is making you feel miserable, drained of energy and stuck. My approach is collaborative, integrative and relational. I use somatic and attachment therapies, mindfulness techniques, family systems therapy, parts work and guided imagery.
Healing invites you to replace old coping strategies and habits by choosing new ways of being that are more aligned with the person you strive to be. It is in this choice that power and freedom are found. If you or you and your significant other need support in working through some hurtful patterns, I am here to help.
