Counseling / Psychology / Mental Health Therapy
Hey! I believe you have everything you need inside of you already. My job is to help you access it to heal. Together, we’ll be a great team. Schedule your consultation or session today and we’ll get started!
Please hear me when I tell you:
You deserve it all.
I started my practice from a personal passion for holistic and somatic patient-focused wellness. I learned to see my body and my intuition as my safest place and wisest advisor. This knowledge, coupled with psychological expertise, motivated me to establish a practice that seamlessly infuses comprehensive care with compassionate understanding. My focus is encouraging women to rediscover their own intuition and inherent wisdom.
My passion is helping motivated, intelligent, bad ass women reclaim their confidence in relationships. They can pursue relationships that they deserve - nurturing, life giving, and fulfilling friendships. At the very least, you will have laughter and joy again, hopefully even Julia Robert's style!
You’re the expert on you.
I'm the expert on healing.
You are already full of answers. We aren’t going to waste time pretending you just woke up one day and found yourself here. You worked hard to have the life you have. You had to be intelligent and resourceful to survive. Let's honor that. .
Therapy is for you to learn how to get what you want. Many trauma surviors don't even know what they want, so we can also start there. My tools start a psychological and archeological dig. Your personal experiences holds your buried context. However, any treasure we find here is in you. You are the expert on your life and experiences. Let me use my expertise to leverage those for your healing.
Therapy with me is…
I can not reiterate enough how much I believe in your capacity to determine what is best for you. The foundation of our work centers around your values and how to live those out in the world. Enduring trauma and abuse teaches us not to trust ourselves, and our work will be restoring that trust and honoring your needs.
I believe being normal is a slow, boring death. I have tried to be the blank slate therapist who nods and says, "hmm, interesting, how does that make you feel" and I just about burned out of the field. You will hear swear words, you will hear sarcasm, and you will also hear that you are capable and good and deserving. I don't check my personality at my office door, and I won't want you to, either. You are too compelling and vibrant to play small anymore, and we need your full self in the world.
I'm on your team and I care about you. All the way. A part of being on that team is helping you deal with the reality of your life. You're gonna have to do the work of eating your emotional vegetables. Healthy minds live in reality, and lying to you about your reality helps no one. Besides, I have a feeling you've never wanted anyone to babysit you anyway.
Life out there is hard. And scary. And asks us to be too tough sometimes. One of your strengths is that you love so hard. It's gotten you into some sticky situations before - lookin' at you, people pleaser part. Still, it is one of the best parts of you. In our space together, we are going to nurture that. We're going to recognize that tenderness and softness often is what saves us. Am I going to be honest? Yes. Cruel? Absolutely not. Strength isn't harshness, it's understanding. You are your safest place, and we honor that.
We don’t exist in a vacuum. As humans we are all a part of society, and systems that aren't aways placed with our consent. I won’t pretend these things aren't happening. If you have a marginalized identity - and if you’re a woman, you do - and we’re going to address that reality. It’s meant to ultimately empower you to find actual options.
