I help folks in their 30s and 40s gently heal shit from their past that is holding them back from leading an authentic life today.

Do you ever feel like you are ruled by your past? Maybe there are things that you do, situations you keep finding yourself in, or a story you've been telling yourself that doesn’t quite fit anymore, but is tough to deprogram. Maybe you catch yourself thinking “I should be over this already,” when pain from your past pops up in your present? You’ve been in therapy before, read the self-help books, listened to the podcasts, and followed the social media accounts, and are still feeling stuck. Perhaps you've begun exploring your own identity/ies in various ways, differentiating from your family’s expectations, and asking yourself the big question “Who am I?” and could really use a guide and witness to help make space for your evolution (renaissance). Whatever it is that's bringing you here, welcome. You are in the right place.
 
My work as a therapist is based on a relational, attachment-focused, trauma-informed approach where we gently investigate and examine patterns and stories held in the mind + body that have been holding you back. Together, we will begin to rebuild the connection between the two (mind + body) in order to move towards a more present and authentic self.
 
There is no "right way" to do therapy and healing looks different for everyone. If you need to ugly cry, scream at the top of your lungs, vent for 10 minutes straight, fidget with toys, or sit in silence  - I am here for all of it. I am not afraid to sit with you in your feelings, witness your pain, and create space for your healing process.
 
Let’s be real; sometimes therapy sucks. The growth and healing that comes from unpacking the past can be painful and shitty at times. I am here so that you don't have to move through all those feels on your own.
 
While I’m trained in the therapy process, you are the expert of your own experience. Our work together will fit who you are and how you see the world. I’m looking forward to learning from you.

I’m
