the therapy process
Folks often come to my practice because they are experiencing feelings of hopelessness, helplessness, feeling stuck, experiencing interpersonal
relationship difficulties, or feelings of low self-worth.
The work I do centers around practicing forms of mindfulness, connection to body, connection to discernment, through an integrated use of these different sources of wisdom that each
of us inherently carry. I have seen in my own practice and in others that cessation of suffering involves a practice of moving through and with the entirety of what is present. Often, from trauma,
you may not be ready to feel that fullness, and must instead find your growth edge.

Successful therapy does not “fix” something that appears to be broken, but rather equips you to hold yourself and others with compassion and curiosity. Through this, discernment arises on learning to identify where change is possible,
and where acceptance may be needed. I have witnessed and experienced this approach being helpful in navigating relationship with self, with others, with work, creativity, and navigating the complexity of living through oppressive systems.
Working with me offers a space to engage in deep, transformative exploration. Many of my clients find that
they are able to explore and unpack complex traumas, internalized shame, and the unhelpful cycles that leave them feeling stuck.
Whether through in-depth self-discovery or more goal-oriented behavioral approaches, the therapeutic process is designed
to help you understand your stories and identities, and foster significant growth.
Therapy does not fix the pain of being human, but it might offer another way to relate to that pain. Maybe you were never broken to begin with.
