As humans, we naturally gravitate towards healing, but shifting from surviving into living can prove to be a little harder. I strive to offer a safe space to unpack the things that may be holding you back, to take them out, figure out their origin story and if it is time for them to retire. The goal is to curate the life that you want to live and to live that life authentically even if the world is trying to tell you to be something else. Boundaries and self compassion are the start of that journey.
I specialize in treating trauma, normal responses to those terrible things that happen to us in the span of a life. I am also passionate about validating the experience of chronic illness, breaking codependence, recovering from narcissistic abuse and sexual violence, normalizing the lifelong process of grief and affirming neurodivergence.
If you are unsure of where to start, we can figure it out together. I want people to leave my office not just feeling heard but feeling informed and empowered. I want you to look at all that you have survived and to see your strength while honoring your pain. I want to create an inclusive environment where you get to be exactly who you are without apology.
