Especially in difficult times, it can be hard to find sources of acceptance, affirmation, and healing. Often the people closest to us - family, classmates, and co-workers, don't accept us for who we are. Perhaps we are gifted and see the world differently, in a new relationship and scared of old mistakes, navigating parenting or co-parenting, or are trying to better understand ourselves and our past. Whatever the reason, we also desire to be happy, whole, and loved - and especially to become something more than what we are. Trauma can hold us back at any age - creating negative habits and barriers to our growth and happiness.
Let’s learn to put your fears into words and break down the dissonance between who you are and who you want to be. A big part of this is challenging negative thoughts, and finding joy in new places. I have experience with people of all ages and people leaving & scared of relationships, survivors of sexual abuse, and members of the LGBTQIA+ community.
I am also very experienced with college & graduate students, and young adult women, men, and nonbinary clients. Self-acceptance is critical to the therapeutic relationship, and I am certified in cognitive-behavioral and dialectical-behavioral therapy skills to help my clients break through their negative thoughts and flip the script on their unwanted habits.
