I firmly believe that every one of us has an innate drive toward wholeness — a natural movement within us that seeks healing, balance, and integration as we navigate life’s challenges. Throughout our lives, we develop ways to cope with what happens to us. These coping strategies often serve us well for a time, helping us survive and adapt. Yet as we continue to grow, some of these same strategies may begin to fail us. We hold onto them not because they still work, but because they’re familiar — they once kept us safe.

 

What we often call disorders are signs of unresolved injuries from the past and expressions of distress, such as fear, anxiety, depression, anger, pain, or illness, which arise from those traumas. When reminders of the experiences come to the surface, they can make us feel unsafe, unworthy, or unloved, and can adversely impact how we view ourselves and the world. As children or in moments of vulnerability, it may not have been safe to direct blame outward — especially toward those we depend on — so we turn it inward instead.

 

Therapy offers a space of safety and partnership where long-held patterns can be understood, honored, and released. Together we’ll explore what truly matters to you, and how you wish to create and maintain that in your life. As we work, you’ll begin to free yourself from limiting beliefs, rediscover your strengths and innate ability to heal, and move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and authenticity.
