Are you struggling with a sense of fear or lack of safety? Do you feel easily on edge, unable to relax, or feel easily triggered? Are you feeling stuck in ideas and beliefs about yourself that are holding you back?
Whether the concept of “trauma” resonates with you or not, what is most important is your understanding of your experience. I’m interested in helping you go deeper, exploring your experience in the context of your identities. We all inherently have multiple sources of wisdom, and my job is to help you build trust with the emotional and embodied wisdom that you hold. Together, we can build an understanding for how your experiences in the past are impacting your current feelings and beliefs. We can move toward finding greater peace in your body and your mind.

Do you find yourself feeling on edge, frequently worried, or having difficulty concentrating? Perhaps it’s hard to get to sleep or you notice your mind racing. There are so many reasons we may be feeling anxious. Our past experiences, cultures, and the systems to which we attune and in which we live all help us make sense of our future. Sometimes, those experiences create fear or worry for our future or make it hard to trust ourselves. We don’t get to know the future, but what if you were able to navigate the future with more trust in yourself?

It can be incredibly hard and lonely to feel hopeless or despairing. Maybe it feels difficult to complete basic tasks or find the motivation to engage in hobbies. Your authentic self may feel far away, unreachable. Together, we can find your way back to your true self and a sense of hope, helping you return to a place of greater functioning and engagement.

Experiencing grief can be profoundly personal and painful. Not all grief and loss is related to death. In fact, so much of our loss throughout life may be far more ambiguous, such as loss of identity, sense of home, loss of hope or a vision for the future, divorce or loss of a relationship. Whether your loss is related to death or not, it is valid. Grief can be complex and sticky, painful and angering, devastating and confusing. You don’t have to weather the storm alone. 

You have a unique culture, history and experience, and mix of identities that are individual to you. You never need to justify your identities to me. And, I want to know about your specific history and story. I am curious about what has been therapeutic for you in the past, what your passions are, and how your identities interact with the systems around you.
