Psychotherapy I believe that we are all wise beings who, given the right environment, have an innate drive toward healing, growth, and wholeness. Unfortunately, we often get pulled or pushed off of this path, one way or another. Over the course of our lives, whether in childhood or adulthood, we inevitably become wounded. In order to protect these wounds, we develop coping skills and symptoms, often that become unconscious patterns that make our internal and external life harder to navigate.
Our ways of coping may have helped us in the past, but as time goes on, they can become habits that make us ignore important parts of ourselves. We find speaking our truth and living authentically feels challenging if not impossible. This can leave us feeling stuck, unfulfilled, anxious, overwhelmed or like something is missing.
Together, we'll embark on a collaborative partnership, where your curiosity and willingness to delve deep into your inner world will be met with compassion, support, and guidance. Through the therapeutic process, you will have the opportunity to connect with and give voice to deeper and more complex parts of you, peeling back the layers to find and free your unique and authentic self. At times, we'll navigate the terrain of early childhood trauma using approaches like parts work and EMDR, allowing you to address and integrate past experiences in a safe and empowering way.
Our work together will be grounded in genuine connection. I believe just as wounding happens in relationships, so does healing. Over time, as our relationship develops, I find people begin to trust the process more and more as they begin to feel more internal ease and peace. Ultimately, my goal is to support you in feeling free to be yourself, as you embrace the fullness of who you are and step into a life of greater authenticity, joy, and fulfillment.
