Introduction

I know how it feels to be told "you're too sensitive", when your empathic nature is abused, your kindness is taken for weakness, to endure childhood trauma and abusive or toxic relationships...to prioritize others over yourself...to feel devalued, lonely and exhausted in your relationships. You are an empath. You love and feel deeply. These are your gifts and they should be celebrated - not weaponized against you. But, you notice that hurtful relationships are stuck on repeat. "People pleasing", disrespect and mistreatment, anxiety, depression, guilt. It's not in your head and it can be better. I get it, I care and I'd love to help. My goal is to work myself out of a job by helping you achieve your desires for therapy. We focus on the root of problems, not just the symptoms. I lead with my humanity so that you can let your whole self show up. I welcome your feedback to ensure that you're benefiting from our work. I use a mind-body-spirit style to promote holistic healing. It's risky to open up and if you've had a hurtful experience with therapy, I realize that it's even harder to try again. My free consultation is our chance to have a vibe-check to see if my style works for you and if I can effectively support your goals. I invite you to schedule a call to get a feel for my personality and style & let's take it from there.
