Does every day feel like Groundhog Day—repeating the same patterns, thoughts, or emotional conflicts over and over again?

You’re not alone. I work with adults, parents, and teens who struggle with self-esteem, anxiety, depression, relationship and attachment issues, or simply a sense that something is missing. Many of my clients carry a deep sense of disconnection—from themselves, from others, or from the lives they’re living.

Maybe you’ve been doing the best you can with the tools you’ve been given—until now. As Maya Angelou said, “Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.”

The Gap Between Knowing and Doing - I believe the gap between learning and applying knowledge is where many problems live. That knowledge—at any age—is only powerful when we know how to use it. That many of the challenges we face aren’t because we don’t know enough, but because we haven’t learned how to apply what we know. From my perspective, the “problems” people come to therapy with are actually attempted solutions—strategies they’ve developed in good faith to try to connect, grow, or cope with the challenges they face. It’s common for these attempted solutions to create new problems. Problems are just signals that something in us is still trying to integrate the lessons learned from life’s lived experiences.

Restoring Connection to Self - At the heart of my work is a belief that we each have an intuitive sense of how to live in alignment with our true selves—but many of us have simply lost access to that inner knowing. This disconnection is often learned, and often just another attempt at solving problems. Over time, we become so distant from our internal compass, perpetuating the same problems and the same cycles, and the disconnection from ourselves may lead to disconnection from others—even when closeness appears to exist on the surface. In our work together, we will restore the connection.

Journey Back to Yourself - I believe that the most important relationship you’ll ever have is the relationship you have with yourself. When you shine the light on yourself to deeply connect with and peel back the layers, you’ll naturally begin to change how you relate to yourself, you’ll expect yourself to show up in your life as the best version of yourself, you’ll tune into your own needs, and the expectation that others must show up for you a certain way or meet those needs will dissolve. In fact, when you are grounded in your own sense of self, your relationships may naturally and effortlessly change. The journey begins with a single step.

What to Expect on The Journey - My goal is to help you reconnect with your internal compass, or intuitive sense, helping you feel and interpret emotions as meaningful intuitive signals rather than obstacles or threats.  I use an integrative approach, employing psycho-educational techniques, self-inquiry and self-reflection techniques, mindfulness and body awareness, communication and behavioral tools, emotion coaching, and nervous system-informed strategies. As clients learn to make sense of their emotions and begin to see themselves from multiple perspectives, the old familiar stories start to have new meaning. Over time, you may see yourself, others, and your problems differently, with more compassion and acceptance of your own life experiences and every human being’s unique journey to what I believe is the same destination - OURSELVES.

You Deserve to Live a Story That Feels Like Your Own - It's your story... I’m here to empower you, and give you permission if you need it, to change your story if you want to. Together, we’ll work to help you build a relationship with yourself so you can stay grounded in the present, continuously self-reflect and gain perspective, challenge limiting beliefs, quiet your inner critic, and begin rewriting the story you're living. Te Veo, I look forward to working with you.
