I am so glad you found yourself here! It can be confusing and vulnerable when you are experiencing the kind of distress that has you to consider therapy. It takes courage and self-respect to even explore the possibility of getting help. I hope what I share here will help you determine if my work could be relevant to your particular struggle. 

​

I have three distinct and overlapping specialities:

 

1. I work with adult women healing from relational harm, codependency, perfectionism, intergenerational and ancestral trauma, and self-criticism. This might be you if you find you often prioritize other people's needs over your own, feel burnt out, constantly feel exhausted and depleted, feel overwhelmed by the world, or notice you are often angry at other people for asking things of you or not noticing you. 

​

2. I work with pregnant people and couples of all identities who are navigating fertility, pregnancy loss, and the transition to parenthood. This might be you if you notice that your culture or direct social circles have not prepared you for the emotional health aspects of infertility, pregnancy, and identity changes in becoming a parent; find yourself wanting more skills for managing anxiety, grief and loss, or communication with your partner; or desire a space to process particular challenges and frustrations related to donors, conflict around timing, or want support in making sure you change patterns of parenting modeled for you by your family or society at large. 

​

3. I work with couples working to heal patterns of conflict, break cycles of intergenerational trauma expressed in the relationship, support equilibrium and resilience in oppressive cultural structures, and improve communication and connection. This might be you if you find you and your partner cannot unlock the same fight or issues in your relationship, find yourself having the same reactions to your partner and don't know how to be different, or simply know that what you have could be improved with support in unlocking the next level of relational wellness.

​

My work is rooted in the knowledge that our place in our families, culture, and society deeply shapes the challenges we face and inner strength we acquire. I believe the more we are able to resolve past traumas, break from traditions and patterns that harm us, and align with what is true and beautiful in ourselves, the better we feel in life. 

​

In my experience, the brave work of deep healing is difficult to do alone. Many of us have blind spots and what we seek to heal is so tender that we need another person to offer safety and compassionate reflection. We need someone who will root for us even when we are at our worst, who believes in our ability to transform, and who isn't afraid to question our questionable thoughts and actions. As your therapist, I will act as your guide so you do not face the darkness alone. Together, we will gently explore experiences or wounds that have been left unhealed, unravel stories you have told yourself about who you "should" be, and help you tap into your innate courage and knowing.

 

I believe in the resiliency, bravery and creativity of every person. As a therapist, I get to see these qualities in action every day and I am humbled and grateful to do this work. If you are interested in finding out more, reach out! I am excited to support you on your journey towards a better life.
