Life can be damn hard.It can be scary to venture into unchartered territory of emotional work.
I have experienced my own personal work and growth in my life and can meet you in yours with vulnerability and empathy. I have a huge heart for those affected by emotional trauma. The connection between therapist and client is vital and I consider it a privilege to develop one with you. Our life experiences can manifest in many ways and those trauma responses can morph into patterns that leave us feeling powerless and lost. We can be driven by unconscious primary emotions that keep us in a triggered and reactive cycle when we are seeking secure and loving connections.
You have the ability to change your “go to” responses and build a self-awareness of who you are and why you are that way. I have a systemic perspective and view therapy from an attachment lens. I enjoy working with people from all backgrounds and incorporate each person’s own values, beliefs, and expertise in their own life. I provide a non-judgmental and safe space to share with a soulful response. I respect the great courage it takes to dig deep into feelings and I honor your experience.
A trusted authority on connection.
