You are brave, curious and brilliant but feel like you are an imposter and never good enough. You have tried people pleasing and a relentless pursuit of self-improvement strategies but can’t shake off the feeling of not being worthy. You long for true belonging, confidence and to live your most authentic expression by releasing old patterns that no longer serve you. You are not alone. I believe that we all have inherent within us expansive wisdom, and capacity to thrive. We can't always access our truest Self because of systems of oppression, trauma, and habitual patterns that keep us disengaged from our true nature.

“The most important step a person can take. It’s not the first one, is it? It’s the next one. Always the next step.” – Brandon Sanderson. There's no question that first step can be a difficult one, and by looking at my profile you're already taking it, but the first step won't get you far unless you take the next one. Many of us are ready for the next step, but find ourselves with obstacles, either inside or outside of ourselves, that get in the way. Whatever your struggles or the path behind you, if you're ready to find the route ahead and put one foot in front of the other, I'm ready to support you along the way.

People find me relatable, trustworthy, and consistent as we work together to address difficulties they bring to treatment. Some want to explore their lives more deeply and are curious about dynamics that are felt but not yet clear. Relationships and work may repeat unfulfilling patterns, be overwhelming, or seem fragile or complex. Happiness, energy, fun, or feeling relaxed may be out of reach. Together, we can approach what may be troubling or confusing. Treatment can help make some sense of anxiety, depression, complex grief, trauma, and other stressors.People who meet with me appreciate feeling supported and better understood.

The goal of therapy isn’t to ‘feel better’, although that should be one of the outcomes. The suffering we experience is rarely a malfunctioning of the brain- it is usually in response to real challenges and is an important way to prepare ourselves for a developmental leap. When we are suffering, our brains release hormones that promote ‘neuroplasticity’, our minds begin to reexamine outdated narratives, and our relationships are challenged with the need for deeper vulnerability and more skillful communication.
