About Me
It has been my experience that there is a human desire to be seen and heard. My priority is to create a space for you experience and witness attunement. I strongly believe in open curiosity paired with synergy which is a bedrock to a trust-based relationship.
My style is incredibly direct and even sometimes difficult to hear; it is paired with a deep sense of care and candor while focusing on the underlying issue. My background is in working with complex trauma and substance abuse disorders. I specifically specialize in treating feelings of “never being enough”, “being too much”, and “I can’t be myself”.
