Does this sound like you?

You have a deep-seated desire to connect deeply with yourself and others, but often notice yourself feeling different from those in the mainstream. You notice yourself highlighting parts of your personality in social situations only to be left with a lingering desire to be seen as your whole self. You might begin to wonder whether you will ever feel a true sense of belonging.

You come from a background that has been historically misrepresented or erased from popular mental health environments. You may feel like there are parts of yourself that even you have yet to explore fully, and aren’t exactly sure where to begin. It might feel increasingly vulnerable to explore those parts of yourself on your own. 

You may belong to a family where you learned lessons that sounded like you were too much, too little, or too different, which had a profound effect on how you learned to view yourself and engage in relationships. It is possible that you have found deeper connections in community with others who have been misrepresented than in your first home. 

When big transitions happen, you may feel safer shutting down or disconnecting from the flow of change. You might have learned that trusting the process leaves you feeling down on your luck, empty-handed, or alone. You want to lean into abundance but something always gets in the way.

Can Therapy Help?

Therapy can be beneficial in a variety of ways, especially for those who want a listening ear to help detangle the threads of our lives. You may have learned that going your own way in isolation is the safest and easiest option, but still yearn to feel seen, heard, and valued. You deserve to feel safely and comfortably whole, and therapy with me might help.

The journey to your favorite self is complex and filled with ups and downs in many areas of life. Therapy is a safe environment in which you can explore possibilities related to your past, present, and future selves.
