It is in our darkest moments that we find the most precious parts of ourselves. We can learn to love and integrate those parts into our conception of who we are. This allows us to begin moving forward as an integrated whole, flowing more easily towards what we desire.
I didn’t set out to become a therapist; This career found me after walking the path through my own therapy and recovery. Growing up, my world was chaotic—addiction, trauma, and a constant sense that I had to hide the parts of myself that felt unsafe to connect to. I learned to mute my needs, to chase perfection and external approval, thinking that was the only way to stay alive in an unpredictable world.
Eventually I realized that the very strategies I used to survive were keeping me from thriving. When I finally allowed myself to sit with the pain, the shame, and the fear, I discovered something surprising: I was able to access the aliveness that I was cut off from. By peeling back layer after layer, I began to meet the real me—the survivor, the seeker, the person capable of love and compassion. I continue to walk this path, deepening my relationship to myself and growing as a therapist.
What That Means for my Clients
I celebrate with you. Watching a client discover who they are, one layer at a time, is pure joy for me—that’s fuel that keeps me learning and growing alongside you.
You’re not alone. I’ve lived the anxiety of a racing mind, the numbness of dissociation, and the exhaustion of trying to “be okay” for everyone else.
I’m here to support your exploration. Whether it’s untangling deep‑seated emotional patterns, tapping into creative expression, or learning how to calm the nervous system, I’ll support you in exploring the tools that feel right.
I stay beside you in the storm. Dark moments happen to all of us. When they do, I’ll sit next to you, hold space, and meet you where you’re at.
