Feeling like your past, or how you think about your past, is dragging you down, or like trying to control unwanted thoughts or memories is taking up all your emotional energy? You're not alone! It's so common for us to get stuck in hurtful thought patterns, and our thoughts and the beliefs we hold about ourselves and our worlds can hold us back or make us feel stuck and caught in patterns we have trouble changing. Reaching out to a therapist can be the first step in changing your relationship to yourself and claiming your life as your own.

Many of the clients I treat are used to being the one others rely on—managing responsibilities, expectations, and pressure while quietly carrying the effects of trauma or chronic stress. They are often looking for a space where their full identities and lived experiences are understood and affirmed. Many want support in healing from painful or wounding experiences, strengthening self-worth and boundaries, and developing healthier ways of coping and relating in their personal and professional lives. Over time, this work often leads to emotional recovery and a stronger sense of autonomy and agency in their lives.

I am privileged and grateful to enter into each of my client’s stories and to provide a safe place for them to process life’s difficulties.
