Does this sound like you?

You have gone your entire life feeling like who you are is fundamentally “wrong”, and the ones who you thought you could rely on only made you feel more unworthy of love and alone. Maybe you felt this way because you’re neurodivergent or part of the LGBTQ+ community and your family didn’t support you. Perhaps you grew up in a high-control religious environment where the most human parts of you were construed as being against God. 

As an adult, you have fought hard to become the person you are today, but remnants of your past make life hard to navigate. You might be facing challenges such as shame related to your sexuality or gender identity, difficulties in maintaining healthy relationships, managing anxiety and depression rooted in trauma, or emotionally processing years of being undiagnosed as a neurodivergent person. 

Can Therapy Help?

These are all valid human struggles that make living an authentic life seem unattainable, but how we choose to address them can make hopes for a better life become a reality. Can you envision a life where trauma and past pain no longer determine how you live today? 

Therapy can be an effective tool for helping you understand what gets in the way of doing so. But let’s be frank, the idea of talking about your deepest struggles with a stranger sounds daunting. However, research has proven the effectiveness of therapy. Having a safe space to process your inner thoughts without judgment can be profoundly healing as it can be the one place where you can go to better understand yourself.

How I can help…

Being alive is inherently anxiety-inducing and that’s okay! We have lived our entire lives creating coping mechanisms to keep us safe from any perceived harm. However, sometimes the way we cope can hinder us from truly living how we want to. 

As your therapist, I consider myself a fellow traveler on your journey to healing. I want to walk alongside you while we explore all parts of yourself without judgment. During this journey, we might come across parts of yourself that you do not like, but in our safe space, I would encourage you to lean into understanding these parts and their hidden value. By doing so, you can create a healthier relationship with yourself and live a more authentic life.

Therapy for trauma and other complex issues usually isn’t a quick process. It takes time to develop insight and start to heal. This belief influences my personal style as I believe that you are the expert on your life and I will let you guide the pace of our sessions no matter how long it takes. I work best with people who are willing to put aside their preconceived notions of themselves and learn to look at their situation with curiosity and empathy.
