BEGIN YOUR JOURNEY TOWARD WHOLENESS
Therapy that nurtures growth and transformation
through deep exploration.
You may not know what exactly needs to change... just that what you're doing isn't working.
Many of my clients feel stuck. They're often dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, a life-transition, or trouble in their relationships.
I see myself as a companion on your journey, helping explore how life events have impacted you and continue to disrupt your life and relationships. No matter what you're experiencing, we'll explore how you got here and develop a path forward. Working at the root of your problems, we can do the true work of healing and creating wholeness so that you can experience freedom, joy, and authenticity.
In addition to finding relief from your symptoms, you should expect to:
-
Manage your emotions more effectively
-
Increase your ability to cope
-
Understand yourself better
-
Increase authenticity and self-compassion
-
Heal attachment wounds
-
Disentangle yourself from unhelpful behaviors and beliefs
-

-
Improve your relationships
-

ON THE HUNT FOR SASQUATCH
I love the power of myth and archetypes to demonstrate universal human experiences. When it comes to our inner workings, I think the Sasquatch legend makes a fun metaphor for the unconscious:
There are parts of ourselves lying in the shadows. Like the Sasquatch, we may see evidence of them here and there, but ultimately they are hidden, hard to understand, and often elusive. Sometimes these elements are aspects of our personality that have been subdued to fit into our family or the broader culture, and other times they represent hurts or traumatic events that work to disrupt our lives and our relationships.
Our work in therapy will help you find the Sasquatch within, both the beautiful and the disfigured parts of yourself that need to come into the light of day. Through this endeavor, you will find healing and support to become your true authentic self, experiencing freedom and self-acceptance. With this new knowledge of yourself, you will have greater choice and intentionality in your actions and relationships.
