We each have the ability to adapt, overcome adversity, feel joy and sorrow, love, and reach our highest potential. Stressful life events, trauma, loss, conflicts, illness, and transitions can overwhelm our ability to cope. Healing becomes blocked. We become stuck. We protect and defend ourselves to avoid ever feeling that pain again. Solutions that once worked become part of the problem. When the traumatic wound is triggered, we experience intense emotion and distorted ways of thinking. In therapy, we journey together to uncover and remove the blocks to healing, transforming pain and loss into meaning, awareness, and choice.
The first step is understanding what is hurting, what works for you, & how I can help. I draw from attachment theory, psychodynamic and Buddhist psychology, CBT, DBT, Internal Family Systems, EMDR & Mindfulness. I am LGBTQIA & gender-affirming. I'm interested in psychedelic-assisted therapy, life transition and depth psychology.
If you want to get unstuck, you can take that first step. I have had the privilege to work with people of all ages, with many types of difficulties, from all walks of life. Each one with a unique journey. I have 15 yrs experience as a counselor and many more years as a human being. I would consider it an honor to meet with you and help you on your journey.
