About My Clients
We get so many messages in our lives about what is expected of us and how to live. Growing up with Trauma and Dysfunction can give us a whole other set of expectations - which can often feel pretty suffocating. I am drawn to helping people who have dealt with trauma and family dysfunction and are struggling with their relationships, and daily life. Lets see if we can make some sense of things, and explore a different path.
My Background and Approach
I believe talking about your history and current experience can often lead to greater perspective. Discussing this, and your relationships with key figures (parents, partners, friends) can often give us perspective that we didn't have before. Together, we can try to look at things a different way, and navigate a different path. Let's explore together, like astronauts! By gaining perspective, we can find opportunities for strength and agency in our everyday lives. By connecting to new support, we can make our own space to think about things we didn't know were possible. My goal is to create a safe space for exploration and support you on this path. Making the first step can be intimidating, but we can also go to new places. Contact me to setup a free consultation call to figure out how we can move forward together.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that the relationships and connection you can find in therapy are extremely important (having benefitted myself from my own therapeutic journey). Everyone's journey and experience is important, and they deserve to have someone listen and hold space for them without judgement. Ive volunteered for over 7 years and 1000 hours with the RAINN online Hotline working crisis intervention. Working with abuse and trauma of all kinds, and helping people voice and normalize their experience is something I am proud to have facilitated. I have grown up with privilege (through my sex, race, and economic background), and through my work looking to always respect this, as well as learn and listen to others, and educate myself to be a better advocate. I like Dogs, Coffee, and Canada - also conversation at a bar.
