“Our thoughts and feelings flow like a river. If we try to stop the flow of a river, we will meet the resistance of the water. It is better to flow with it, and then we may be able to guide it in ways that we want it to go.”
Therapy Services
The foundation of my work begins with relationships. It can take time to build trust, and I take care in building a therapeutic relationship that is rooted in authenticity, accountability, and compassion.
I have found water, in all its forms, to be a powerful metaphor for the therapeutic process. Whether you are navigating harsh waves or strong currents, stuck at the shoreline overwhelmed by its vastness or anything in-between, therapy can offer a space to explore your lived experiences, at a pace that honors your truth, and create a path to healing and meaning making.
I wholeheartedly welcome everyone in my office. Your full authentic self will be valued and centered in our work together. Choosing to engage in therapy can sometimes be a tough and vulnerable decision. Taking this step can also be a transformative gift of self-love with longstanding rewards. I want you to know that you matter, and you are worthy of the best that life has to offer.
