As a person who found it difficult to feel that I belonged, I’ve often felt like I didn’t get the memo on how to “do” life. Growing up in the midwest female, lesbian, and recognizing I'm Trans and queer, I had a lot of internalized shame and low self value. Through my own therapeutic journey I was inspired to change careers in my mid 30's from an actor, to a therapist. I've worn many hats, and can relate to many people. Maybe you're wanting to process a relationship, work on anxiety, motivation, perfectionism, or looking to define who you are or who you want to be. Therapy can provide a great deal of relief, and clarity.
Together we can process unconscious themes, identify how your past is informing your present. By providing you with mindfulness, and cognitive skills, you will have a full tool box to use in between sessions. I also provide EMDR therapy. EMDR helps speed up the recovery process by accessing unresolved trauma that has been stored in your mind and body.
If you are curious about therapy, I invite you to be just that — curious. Lets chat over phone, or email and see if we'd be a good fit. I strongly believe that you are the expert of your life and I am here to work collaboratively with you. "Through the greatest confusion comes the greatest clarity." Also accepting Associates.
