No one had a perfect childhood. The wounds you experienced as a child do not heal on their own. They show up as unhealthy expression of emotions, unfulfilling relationships and sometimes, just pure inner chaos or confusion. We respond to these wounds like we did when we were kids, through hyper-independence, isolation, defiance, or even denial of their existence. However, what worked to keep you safe then, is no longer serving you and may in fact be keeping you stuck.

I believe therapy is a collaboration. I want to empower my clients and advocate for them throughout the therapeutic process. At the end of the day, I feel that each person is the expert on their own self, and at different seasons in our lives, we all need extra support and validation. I utilize an integrative style of therapy, meaning, I pull from many different schools of thought! Primarily, I use a Psychodynamic approach that is trauma-informed. I also utilize Reality Therapy and Mindfulness techniques. I invite you to reach out to me to schedule a free and casual introduction via phone to see if you believe I would be a good fit as your therapist. I thank you for your interest and I am looking forward to meeting you.
