The thoughts we think, the stories that we tell ourselves, the ways in which we talk to ourselves, greatly impact our well being & how we respond to our experiences and to the world around us.

Difficult life experiences, exposure to trauma, substance use and mental health issues can cause us to become critical of ourselves and others. We can start to develop behaviors and thought patterns as a means to feel safe and to feel in control when the world around us may feel very out of control. Over time, this survival-based self talk & behaviors and can wear us down and bury our true nature, at times keeping us disconnected from others and our true selves.

Together, we will work to explore the messages you learned as a child and as an adult, that have shaped the beliefs that you now hold about yourself and the world. We will work to investigate if these beliefs are helpful and true and if they support your happiness and well being.

Together we will build a toolbox of inner resilience, strengths and tools to help you navigate the path forward. We will examine ways to move through life with greater self compassion while allowing for imperfection, growth, forgiveness, grace and understanding in times of great difficulty and in times of joy.

I believe that healing is not a destination but a remembering of one’s own wisdom and power. You, ultimately are the expert on your own life and have the wisdom to thrive deep within you. Together we will work towards allowing that wisdom to surface.
