Are you struggling to feel connected - to yourself, to your values, to others? Having a hard time letting go of old stories? I believe there are powerful forces that disconnect us from our truth - the forces of trauma, oppression, diet-culture, even our old ways of survival. In our work together we will center reconnection - to yourself, to your body and the wisdom contained within. I believe our relationships are strengthened when we commit to building trust in ourselves. We'll work together to identify patterns, your strengths and values and explore the impacts of culture, identity and family of origin.
I pull from a variety of evidence based treatment modalities. I aim to understand your experience in context. I view human behavior as an adaptation to circumstance and internal experience. Together we'll work to identify and honor how a behavior or way of thinking has worked for you in the past, before collaborating to identify a new way to move forward.
It takes strength and courage to reach out for support. It is always my goal to meet your vulnerability with curiosity and non-judgement and to create a therapeutic space grounded in dignity and compassion.
