About My Clients
Have you ever felt like you are repeating the same experiences in life but you’re not sure why? You want to change and to feel happier but you find yourself repeating the same patterns, like your life is trapped on one level of a video game, but no one ever showed you how to play to get to the next level.
My Background and Approach
I believe every client is the expert of their own lives but I know that our environments (family, friends, coaches, etc.) can leave a person second guessing their own instincts and hiding parts of themselves. And somewhere along the way, the past rejection and invalidation has left them feeling it is not okay to be themselves. I focus on healing the pain of past hurt and shame and encouraging a person to explore the thoughts, behaviors, and patterns that leave them feeling stuck.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
One of my special interests has always been psychology. I was often in my head as a teen, questioning - why are we the way we are? Why do we behave the way we do, often repeating patterns despite receiving the same conclusion? This unanswered question sparked a fascination with learning about the human mind, especially learning about trauma and how it shapes our unconscious thought. Why do people do what they do? Because their childhood, their community, and the world shaped them to respond in that way. This fascination has evolved over time to include exploring the intersectionality between systemic injustices and mental health, and questioning how we are building an embodied, sustainable, authentic world for the future generation.
