I believe that you have an inner wisdom that knows what you need to heal and feel whole. I'm glad you are listening to it and seeking support, which we all need. Here are a few things to know about me: Respect, curiosity, compassion, and depth are primary values in my work. My role in the therapy process is collaborator, an active participant by your side, holding space for emotions, listening for themes and patterns, asking questions to encourage self-exploration, and (with curiosity, respect, and perhaps some humor) challenging unhelpful or "stuck" patterns. Trauma, loss, life transitions, difficult relationships, and the stress of living within toxic systems can cause emotional pain that is hard to manage alone. Developing curiosity, compassion and insight about yourself, your experiences, and your context is the first step in: (1) accepting yourself as you are now, and (2) trying new ways of being. My goal for our work together is to progress towards respect and compassion for yourself, while also enhancing self-awareness and coping styles in a way that empowers you to find ever more ease, satisfaction, and meaning in your life. Please feel welcome to be in touch. I would be happy to schedule an initial consultation to discuss working together.
