Your story is sacred, broken and full of beauty.

My style of therapy has an empathetic bent that focuses on connection and trust primarily.

I wholeheartedly believe everyone’s story is valuable amongst the sacred and broken parts. I am not afraid to enter into the dark places of shame, fear, and pain. I am more of a guide than an authoritarian dictating what you “should” be doing. I want to sit with you, witness, and hold space for your own individual journey.

The stories you carry are very important and will help us find the way towards healing together.

  • Through identifying your feelings we can begin to be curious about what they mean and where they might lead you.

  • I will also challenge you when the moment is right in order for you to see what you might be dissociating from or avoiding.

  • The places you have been will impact the places you will go and together we can begin to heal the core of the pain.

  • We can be so hurt by relationships but also the healing is very, very real and restoring.

  • My therapeutic lens is eclectic but holds true to a person-centered, narrative, and trauma focused approach.

“When a person realizes (she) has been deeply heard, (her) eyes moisten. I think some real sense (she) is weeping for joy. It is as though (she) were saying: Thank God somebody heard me. Someone knows what it’s like to be me.”
