About My Clients

Has paralyzing anxiety become a new normal for you? Do you feel disconnected from your life as if watching yourself in a movie directed by someone else? Familial and cultural conditioning often cast us into roles we learn as children. Whether we know it or not, we find ourselves falling into these same familiar patterns even when they undermine our wishes for a happy life. I help clients build an awareness to the relationship they have with themselves leading them towards more peace and purpose.

My Background and Approach

Helping others means abandoning even the most perfectly crafted plans if they don’t fit. People need to feel empowered to be agents of their own solution. That starts with listening. Letting go of my agenda and meeting someone where they are has made all the difference in finding lasting solutions and building trusting relationships

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Viewing the self as a network of differing parts that can often be in conflict with one another, rather than a monomind has been integral to my own healing. Addressing these roles individually is the key to releasing them of held burdens and past hurts. I believe that everyone is capable of growth and change if given a safe space to do it. Finding a therapist is not easy especially if you've never done therapy before. Look for someone you feel you can develop a trusting relationship with, who listens to you, and goes at your pace. Reach out to see if I might be that person and always feel empowered to move on to someone else. Therapy IS personal and that's okay. If you think I may be a good fit, please reach out.
