About

Your needs matter and attending to them is NOT selfish!

Speaking aloud your pain and trauma with a psychotherapist who provides safety, confidentiality and validation can be so healing. You may have never had the opportunity to do this with anyone, feeling as though you had to bottle, stuff and avoid your emotions. You don't have to suffer in silence anymore, and it is definitely OK to reach out for help. Sometimes journaling and meditation can only do so much, and you really need to verbalize your feelings to someone else. You may feel like you can't go to your friends or family because they won't understand, or because you're feeling embarrassed or ashamed. Going outside of your immediate circle to find a therapist that matches your values is a way to find objective and trusted support. I hope to have the opportunity to support & advocate for you through active listening and empathy. Together, we'll work through these pain points. Please understand that the therapy fee you are paying is an investment in YOUR mental health and finding emotional peace, and this is well worth it. You can schedule a free 20-minute phone consultation through the "Request Appointment" button!
