I believe we each have an innate capacity to move toward wisdom, integrity, and inner truth. I believe we seek ways of living that feel more honest, more connected, and more aligned with who we are becoming.
At the same time, life experiences, relationships, and broader social realities shape how that capacity develops. We adapt. We protect ourselves. We learn ways of being that once helped us survive and belong; and these ways may later limit our sense of freedom, connection, or vitality.
People often come to this work feeling caught in repeating patterns, carrying questions such as:
What is happening beneath the surface of my experience?
Why do these familiar reactions keep showing up?
How have my relationships shaped how I see myself and others?
What is asking to be healed, and what is asking to be mourned?
How do I live with greater coherence and integrity from here?
Therapy offers a space to slow down and bring careful attention to both inner experience and relational patterns. Through curiosity, presence, and attunement, we explore how past experiences live on in the body, emotions, thoughts, and ways of relating; and experience how new possibilities can emerge through awareness and integration.
The people I work with often bring experiences related to:
Relational trauma, including narcissistic and/or emotionally, physically, or sexually abusive parenting or other relationships
Longstanding patterns rooted in early attachment and family systems
Anxiety, depression, or chronic stress as signals from the nervous system
Grief and loss, including complicated or unacknowledged grief
Intergenerational patterns that continue to shape present choices and relationships
Shame, self-criticism, and disrupted self-trust
Identity development related to race, gender, sexuality, spirituality, culture, and socio-economic class
Experiences of marginalization, oppression, or chronic relational stress
Embodied experiences such as chronic tension, pain, or a sense of being disconnected from oneself
This list is not exhaustive and is not meant to define or limit the work. Often what matters most cannot be fully named at the outset and emerges through the process itself.
This work is collaborative, experiential, and paced with care. We attend to what is happening in the present moment, while also honoring the ways past experiences continue to shape perception, reaction, and relationship. Attention is given to both insight and embodiment, to understanding and to integration.
We hold agency alongside constraint, and self-compassion alongside accountability. Rather than trying to eliminate parts of you or rush toward solutions, the work we do together supports greater internal coherence, flexibility, and choice where choice is possible.
The aim is not to fix you, but to help you live with greater awareness, integrity, and connection to yourself and others.
You were born into circumstances you did not choose.
Healing invites a different relationship to what follows.
