Do you feel stuck? Through living our lives, we develop mechanisms to navigate specific contexts, but sometimes, those methods no longer work or we grow tired of them. Some signs of being stuck manifest as complicated relationships, a lack of creativity, loss of agency, inability to rest, hesitancy to play, feelings of overwhelm or a lack of interest in life. Together, we can empower your story and regain movement by having an empathetic witness journey with you, navigate your particular context, the relationships/systems around you, your unique brain and perception of self.
I work with individuals, couples, and children through a trauma lens on identity, shame, cultural issues, and organizational abuse. From my experience as a multi-ethnic, woman who grew up overseas with the US military, I seek to honor your unique identity, regardless of culture, body, ability, faith, background, or orientation.
Therapy is a safe place to explore emotional possibilities. I hope together; we can work together to begin co-creating a process that you need. Schedule a complimentary 30-minute call to determine if we are a good match and take the first step towards healing.
