Your past does not define you and I believe everyone deserves to heal. The people I work with usually come to therapy because they'd like something about themselves or their life to be different. Painful and overwhelming situations are usually a part of their past and/or present and these experiences tend to impact who they are and how they feel about themselves. Healing usually includes caring for wounds, learning lots, and doing things a little differently than before. People feel better about themselves - stronger, more secure, calmer, and more peaceful - as a result of therapy and healing work.
I am a person-centered, trauma-focused, psychodynamic therapist, which is just a fancy way of saying that your experience is most important. I believe you are in charge of your healing journey, and I believe that you are all you need to be just as you are, right here and now.   I rely on a handful of therapy models so long as it makes sense for your healing.
Are you living as a version of you that was created to survive? Maybe you want to make sense of what has happened and feel better about who you are. I wonder if you feel stuck, want more control in your life, or struggle speaking your mind. Are you interested in discovering a version of you that is meant to thrive? Reach out and let's do this together.
