My Approach to Helping

Everybody needs someone to be there for them, simply to be there.
-Pema ChÃĦdrÃĦn

We live in a culture that emphasizes independence, self-reliance, figuring things out on our own. While these are important aspects of adult life, they sometimes can develop into isolation and a fear of reaching out for connection. This split is a common urban experience, being surrounded by others yet feeling alone and frightened of one's own pain.

In the midst of this, the potential of the client-therapist relationship is profound. Allowing yourself to be witnessed in therapy is a noble endeavor, opening the possibilities of deep, lasting intimacy with yourself and others. This is the longing I encounter time and again in my work � we humans ache for our whole selves and for each other, the bright and dark parts all together.

To fully claim our tenderness, vitality, and creativity, we must build sacred space for them. I strive to co-create this intentional setting with each client.

You've already taken a powerful step in your healing by looking for support. Perhaps you're experiencing depression or stuckness. You might feel general or social anxiety, loneliness, or isolation. Maybe you're grieving. Whatever pain you're in right now, you deserve care and companionship. It is my honor to provide that companionship for those who choose it.

You know best who is helpful to your self-discovery. I invite you to contact me for a free 20-minute consultation to see if we might be a good fit.
