Do you struggle to trust yourself, validate your own needs and feelings, or set boundaries? Did you grow up with an unavailable, unpredictable, or critical parent? Are you quick to take responsibility and blame yourself for relational struggles? My clients are seeking clarity, healing, and empowerment. Perhaps you’re longing to address these issues, process a painful loss, or find freedom from limiting patterns and beliefs. Often, we are navigating relationships, dating, family conflict, career choices and satisfaction, and hopes for the future.
Sometimes we disconnect or build unhealthy coping mechanisms to maintain feeling safe in our own bodies. Becoming more mindful of our bodies can offer us a source of inner-knowing and powerful healing. I utilize mindfulness-based and somatic practices to help inform clients where they hold their emotions and help them move through it.
In the therapeutic process, I consider the whole person and view each of my clients from a culturally-sensitive and trauma-informed lens, using an attachment-based approach, body-based practices, as well as art therapy. I hold the assumption that everyone has been impacted by past events, experiences, and emotions. I integrate practical tools according to each client's need.
Choosing a therapist can feel like a daunting task. I would love to connect and learn more about what you are seeking, and together we will explore if we are a fit to engage in this impactful work.
