Hello, and allow me to be the first to welcome you to this first step towards reclaiming your life as your own. Many of us start therapy because of challenges we bump into in our everyday lives, whether that includes struggling to adjust to life's many changes, stressors at work or in relationships, experiences with anxiety or depression, battling internal feelings of shame or unworthiness, difficulties making choices about life's next steps, or managing the long term effects of trauma. I am here to navigate it all with you to achieve a deeper understanding of what's going on and to begin to heal those wounds that never seem to close, as well as clear away the many complexities that may be slowing you down.
I offer a therapeutic environment free of judgement and demands, where our work can be guided by your unique experiences and our shared curiosity toward your internal world. In our work we will explore the impact of your lived experiences both past and present, how those experiences have shaped your life, and importantly, how you can become liberated from painful unconscious patterns and beliefs.
I work within an anti-racist and LGBTQ+ affirming frame, honestly acknowledging the significance of systemic forces including class, race, gender, and sexuality as they continue to impact our lives. I believe in the value and effectiveness of insight-oriented psychotherapy and its ability to provide a renewed sense of inner resourcefulness to navigate adversity, increase self esteem, develop more fulfilling relationships with oneself and others, and to find fulfillment in work and life, all in the service of living out your own unique goals and wishes for your life.
