We create many of our habits and interpersonal beliefs in childhood & adolescence. Your own story might contain the thought that “my parents did the best they could” and, as an adult, you know that you needed more validation, more attention to your needs, &/or more attunement to your feelings than you received. These internalized stories can continue to keep you feeling emotionally unsafe with others, create a harsh inner critic, & effect the adult lens in which you view the world. I can help you develop curiosity & support you to challenge these stories and create new ones through behavioral interventions & reframing techniques.
I’ll help you identify & challenge myths or expectations that no longer serve you while building positive habits that support your long-term well-being. Using evidence-based models of change, neuropsychology, & research-backed techniques, I provide practical tools to help you believe you can cope with difficulties and make decisions aligned with your goals.
I deeply care about the people I work with & provide a neuro-diverse and LGBTQ+ affirming environment. Therapy can feel intimidating, but with trust, honesty, & patience, it can be the first step toward a happier, healthier, & more balanced life. Let’s work together to find clarity, restore balance, & help you get to the life you want.
