Do you find your mind racing with “what ifs” and “shoulds”? Do you struggle to let go and move forward from the pain of the past? Do you find yourself pulling away from the people who love you making it hard for you to open up and communicate what you need? You’re trying. Trying to navigate the tangle of feelings and thoughts that feel relentless at times. You’re trying to find the right balance within your friendships and family but are still finding your actions guided by guilt and your body filled with resentment. You’re seeking support as you carve out a bigger space in your head and heart for “you” and I’m here to help.
You're ready to acknowledge and listen to your wants and needs and are wanting to practice this with your relationships. You’re curious about how the past may be influencing the present and ready to heal parts of you that feel rejected and abandoned. You’re on a self love journey, and I’m here to help you tap into your joy and confidence along the way!
I will help guide you in becoming a more compassionate and caring person towards yourself. I pull from a variety of therapeutic models, such as DBT and IFS, to support curiosity and internal peace while also providing skills to support communication and intense emotions. I can’t wait to meet you!
