Our relationships—with ourselves and others—are fundamental to our overall wellbeing. Yet, for many, past wounds can create barriers to connecting in the ways we long for. I work with clients to identify the coping mechanisms that once helped them navigate life but are no longer serving them in the present. By exploring these survival strategies, we create space to cultivate compassion for ourselves and others. Through this practice of self-acceptance, we can begin to build the deeper, more meaningful connections we've been longing for. I see therapy as a safe space to practice the vulnerability that brings true intimacy.
I utilize the power of mindfulness to help clients connect with their inner wisdom and gain deeper self-awareness. Our work together may incorporate a variety of modalities, including visualization exercises, art-making, journaling, and movement, offering diverse ways to process emotions and experiences. Taking the first step takes courage
Whether working with an individual, couple, or family, our focus will be on self-discovery and exploring the past traumas that have shaped your relationships. Achieving the life and connections you desire often requires stepping into the unknown—taking risks and embracing discomfort. Taking the first step takes courage, but is well worth the leap.
