Transform your inner and outer worlds.
The transformational process of therapy…
We can think of the therapeutic process as a sort of metamorphosis. Like the caterpillar transforms into a butterfly, we all enter the world with everything we need within us to become our very best selves. However, in order to make that transformation possible, we each require a safe and supportive space to grow.
Unfortunately, many of us never had the opportunity to experience that space. This could be due to a variety of reasons - growing up with unavailable or abusive attachment figures, taking on adult roles at an early age, experiencing isolation and rejection from our peers, etc. This is where therapy can come in - acting as a sort of cocoon.
My hope for our time together is to provide that “cocoon” for you - wherein we can safely explore both your inner and outer worlds, all the while supporting you in growing and transforming into your most authentic self.
It’s time to find your wings.

Who is this practice for?
Does the following resonate?
You’re the person family and friends go to when they need someone to listen or want a helping hand. You take care of others, even if it means sacrificing your own wants and needs. You may feel valued in being needed in this way, but you also find yourself feeling invisible, lonely, emotionally overwhelmed, and resentful. At times, you may even find yourself feeling unworthy of or unable to accept the reciprocation that you also so deeply desire.
If so, I invite you to get curious about the possibility that there is a different way to show up for yourself and in your relationships - a way that feels more fulfilling and sustainable.
At one point, over-giving and over-performing were what provided you with a sense of safety within your relationships. Maybe you had a parent who needed you to take care of them, or a parent who was unpredictable and unsafe. Therapy is a place where you can feel safe to step out of those earlier roles and connect to your most authentic self.
This practice exists for those who are ready to go from focusing on everyone else to finally making space for themselves.
