About Me
I’m passionate about helping people understand how their family history, generational patterns, and past experiences shape who they are today. Through exploring these connections, we will work to develop a stronger sense of self, build healthy boundaries, and become more intentional in how you navigate relationships. My goal is to help you understand where you come from while giving you the freedom to decide where you want to go.
I believe that understanding ourselves begins, in part, with understanding the families and experiences that shaped us. The expectations we carry, the roles we take on, and the ways we relate to others often have roots in patterns that have been passed down through generations. Exploring these patterns can help us better understand ourselves, strengthen our sense of identity, and make choices that align more closely with who we want to be.
I strive to offer a judgment-free space where we can approach your experiences with curiosity, openness, and compassion. I recognize that none of us can fully know another person’s experience, and I believe meaningful therapy begins with honoring that truth. Rather than assuming I know your story, I want to understand it alongside you. My approach is collaborative, and together we can explore the patterns, expectations, and relationships shaping your life. My hope is that you leave our work feeling more grounded in who you are, more confident in your boundaries, and better equipped to build relationships that feel healthy and authentic to you. My approach combines compassionate support with thoughtful, direct feedback, creating space for both self-acceptance and accountability.
Family-of-origin dynamics, generational trauma, differentiation of self, decreasing anxiety, developing boundaries, increasing self-awareness, emotional integration, and the ability to make choices based on who you are today rather than patterns you've inherited or learned along the way.
Our First Conversation
We will use the first session as an opportunity to introduce ourselves, review your history, explore what's bringing you to therapy, and start discussing your expectations and goals.
My Therapeutic Approach
My approach to therapy is collaborative and relational, grounded in the belief that understanding ourselves helps to create meaningful change. I will meet you with curiosity and respect while also encouraging you to examine familiar patterns, consider different perspectives, and recognize where change may be possible.
