There is nothing wrong with you! Life can be tough, especially when you don't have a space to be yourself or explore what that looks like. I believe everyone deserves to be seen, heard, & valued just as they are. My goal is to help you find your strengths, build resilience, & get to know yourself better so you can break down walls. I often work with individuals that have a history of abuse, struggle with anxiety or self-esteem, are neurodivergent, and/or have chronic medical issues. I use trauma-responsive approaches with each person, which include mindfulness, self-empowerment, problem solving, & a hefty dose of validation.
I believe that gratitude & sunshine make the days a little easier. I am especially passionate about equity & inclusivity. I hold the belief that ALL people have inherent value- no exclusions. I'm fascinated by neuroscience, as learning how our brain works helps us stop shaming ourselves. Boundaries, the impact of trauma, & resources are major focuses for me.
Therapy can feel scary or uncomfortable. My goal is to create a space that allows you to show up fully (messy, angry, sad, happy, etc.) in order for you to speak unfiltered; that's where the good stuff begins. If you're willing to show up and be honest, I would love to work together and remind you how amazing you are.
