Personal Statement
Hi there! If you have experienced painful things in your life, such as trauma, abuse, or loss, and you feel like they still have a hold on you, I invite you to join me as we unravel it together. Experiencing things like this can make you question everything in your life, such as what you believe in or even who you are as a person. The things we have experienced throughout our life and the way we were raised have a major impact on the way we see the world, the things that are important to us, and the patterns we find ourselves stuck in. I believe all the different parts of our life are connected, and so coming in to work through even just one specific issue in therapy can positively impact other areas of your life.
I enjoy working with a variety of presenting concerns, but I’m most drawn to working with individuals who have experienced trauma, childhood abuse, sexual abuse, or domestic violence. Oftentimes, those who have endured these types of traumas end up struggling with things like setting boundaries and maintaining healthy relationships (with anyone; friends, family members, romantic partners, etc.). I’m also passionate about working with individuals who are religious/spiritual or who feel their religion/spirituality may have been affected by trauma. I also enjoy working with individuals who have severe and persistent mental illness, as we find that is often the result of relational trauma from early on in childhood. Lastly, I enjoy working with mothers to help navigate the identity shift as well as manage past childhood traumas that may come to the forefront as a result of having children.
In my free time, I enjoy going on a long walk with my dog while listening to an audiobook, crafting for the fun of it, and trying new restaurants around the city with my friends and family.
