About My Clients

Are you feeling stuck, confused on what to do next? You notice that, despite identifying the blocks and patterns holding you back, you don't feel different. Having context doesn't release the heaviness in your chest or the sinking feeling in your stomach is still there. Cerebral understanding is only one part of the healing picture. Our body holds deep, essential wisdom. When you locate and connect this bodily wisdom with your mental understanding - profound, deep and lasting change is possible.

My Background and Approach

I am trained in Gestalt therapy and utilize IFS and somatic and attachment elements in my approach. I provide guidance for folks on their healing journey through deep relational, developmental and generational trauma. I specialize in themes of shame, perfectionism, alienation, AFAB societal indoctrination, self esteem/self worth. All of you is welcome and encouraged - the taboo, the thoughts too dark to speak, the fears and the dreams. My approach is deeply present, relational and warm. Our therapeutic relationship is fertile ground for healing and I can guide you in finding what you would like to bring and grow here.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

The therapeutic relationship is unique in that is a specific time to step out of the wild rush of life and allow ourselves to reflect and process. I believe we heal in connection. My hope is that our time together will allow you to develop self compassion, to see that you are not in need of fixing and that the wisdom you need is already with you. With this self awareness and acceptance - approaching and addressing challenges in your life and relationships can be met with less fear or resistance.
