Therapy with me is all about building a healthy relationship with yourself because peace around you starts within you. We will explore the concern that brought you to seek support and create a uniquely tailored plan for you.
Explore all aspects of who you are, uncovering narratives you might feel stuck in and holding space for the complexities of all of your parts

I work relationally, prioritizing the authentic connection between us as two humans. I won't just nod along in sessions - I'm actively engaged, ready to challenge you when needed, and ready to sit in whatever grief, pain, or joy is showing up for you
help you heal your trauma. You'll develop skills to check in with your feelings and beliefs, and work with them rather than fight with them. You'll get a space to express the things you might be afraid to say out loud elsewhere.

You get to lead. It helps if you know what to talk about, but if not, that's okay. If you find yourself with a lot of internal dilemmas, I use a "parts" lens that validates you not knowing what to think or feel. We'll go at your pace.
We'll talk about any and all experiences that provoke feeling for you: relationships, fears, the past, the future, death, and/or the book you're reading. I want to know what matters to you.

I invite a lot of feedback on how you're experiencing therapy. This helps you practice direct communication, learn about what's happening for you in other relationships that goes unspoken, and helps make therapy more effective for you.
