Our life experiences can often impact how we are able to show up for ourselves and others. We may notice feeling anxious, disregulated, or numb more often than not, and desire to feel more secure in our connections and interactions. I am a trauma informed, sensorimotor therapist with a social justice lens. I believe therapy promotes healing, growth, and change within a safe, supportive, and collaborative environment.
Together we will focus on understanding your thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. Our work together will help you increase your self-awareness, build a tolerance for distress and ambiguity, increase confidence to set boundaries, and develop resourcing strategies.
If you are struggling with feelings of anxiety, insecurity, helplessness, and confusion; if you're looking for ways to feel unstuck or more deeply connected to yourself or to others please reach out and establish support. I am here to help.
