It’s hard to make the decision to come into therapy. You may not know for sure that you will be seen as you are, that you will be free to express yourself, that it will be ok to bring up parts of your life that you feel may not be understood or accepted. I want you to know it’s ok to be cautious. It’s ok to take your time to open up. Many of use have wounding around being seen, heard and accepted. I want you to be free to bring up all parts of your life that are meaningful to you.
I believe that therapy can reach far beyond just reducing symptoms and managing daily problems, and help us actualize our full potential. Each of us has the capacity to not only move through life’s struggles, but to orient our lives in the directions most meaningful to us, and create change in ourselves and in the world.
My vision is to accompany my clients through their process of recognizing and uncovering their unique capabilities and find their pathways towards joy, resilience, creativity, fun, and fulfillment.
I specialize in working with:
Developmental trauma / attachment wounds / relational trauma
Chronic illness / chronic pain
Medical trauma
Codependency / people-pleasing / overidentification with caretaker role
Relationship satisfaction
Clinically, this may show up as Major Depressive Disorder, Dysthymic Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, C-PTSD, PTSD, or Panic Disorder.
