Are you grieving because of a recent diagnosis for yourself or a loved one? Wondering what might have been if you had known sooner and wondering what this means for the future? Do you want to parent your children differently than you were yourself but struggle to know what to do when all you’ve experienced is what NOT to do? Even if you’re figuring it out, do you still worry you will fail? Do you want to become better at setting boundaries with friends, family, your employer, or others in your life? Stand up for yourself AND feel good about it? Even create an exit plan?

The road we travel towards living as our truest self is by no means smooth. Often, we have learned messages that get in the way of living authentically, whether it be messages from society, family, peers, strangers, or even ourselves. We may feel lost and uncertain of finding a way forward. We will work together to find ways that you can feel empowered to break free from these messages to live openly and authentically. I love working with clients who are healing from trauma, learning to be present emotions, creating positive self-narratives, and providing affirming LGBTQ+ care. I also provide testing for learning disorders and ADHD.

We learn from our experiences! Sometimes those experiences "teach" us something about ourselves or our place in the world. For example, childhood trauma may teach us that the world is not safe, that we are not lovable, or that we need to be afraid of relationships. These "lessons" may create barriers to feeling safe, loved, or emotionally regulated.
