About My Clients
If you've ever sat in your car wondering if you're doing this parenting thing right, or felt unmoored by the patterns you keep repeating, you aren't alone. Many clients come to therapy feeling exhausted by the demands of caring for others while struggling to understand their own needs, emotions, and identity. Therapy can be a place to figure out who you are outside of everyone else's needs and develop an authentic and rooted sense of self to engage the world with.
My Background and Approach
I believe that the relationship between us is part of the work, not just the setting for it. Most of our deepest wounds happened inside relationships. A lot of our healing can happen there too. My work is informed by relational and attachment-based approaches, that value how connection shapes and transforms us. I believe your body holds wisdom your mind hasn't caught up to yet and together we can pay attention and access the innate healing you body can create. We'll start with your presenting issues, clarify and create goals for your healing journey, identify guiding values and practice authenticity in the therapy space so you can build confidence to show up in outside spaces with a stable sense of self. As a woman, my life has been heavily defined by caretaking roles, and I know firsthand how it is possible to lose a sense of self when you have given so much of your time and energy away to others. I want to help you find yourself again and flourish in the process.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I became a therapist because I believe that being truly seen and understood by another person changes something fundamental in how you see yourself. That's not just a theory to me. It's what I've watched happen, again and again. I also believe that we can be our best selves when we are surrounded by supporting and affirming systems. My work in public school systems and healthcare have highlighted the many deficits these systems have, yet they ignite my passion that we all have a role to play in making our communities safe spaces. This work starts with ourselves and flows outward in how we show up and advocate for others in our communities.
