I believe it is our deepest desire to know that even if we share our whole story, we’ll be seen, understood, and belong. However, instead we are often met with painful experiences that teach us to create masks and conceal our true feelings and desires. Have you been criticized or rejected? Maybe you’ve been made to feel insignificant and small. Or perhaps, like me, you were taught that you should be perfect and never show weakness, but now feel trapped by these lessons. In both my life and practice, I strive to understand myself and remove my masks by living authentically; I want to join you on your journey and help you do the same.
My therapy style is flexible, engaging, and collaborative. Together we'll explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to understand what’s causing you stress and how we can address it. After your coping skills improve, we’ll focus on making your life more fulfilling by empowering you to seek your needs healthily instead of avoiding or suppressing them.
I believe that many of the events in our lives shape and influence us, sometimes in ways we may not know. We do our best to adapt to the demands in our lives, but sometimes we hit challenges and barriers that just build up and overwhelm us. It is at this point we need a helping hand, one that can see things from a different angle. I would like to help you.
