Whatever brings you to therapy is valid and worthy of exploration. Perhaps you sometimes struggle to feel connected to your emotions or to your body. You're noticing patterns or recurring challenges in relationships that you want to better understand. You feel exhausted from performing aspects of your life and want to tap into your authenticity and explore your identity. You've experienced trauma and want to process it safely. You're impacted by institutionalized racism, sexism, heterosexism, ableism, fatphobia and are seeking empowerment and healing. You crave deeper more satisfying relationships with others and yourself.
