Hi everyone,

I’m thankful you are taking the time to read this to decide if I am right to join your support system. I have been a therapist since 2020, and I have explored so many different realms of the field, from nonprofit organizations, intensive live-in treatment centers, the court system, and private practice. I have worked with youth, adults, and elders. I’ve even worked in the States for a while which is where I explored more alternative techniques and methods of emotional healing.

I’m dedicated to this work because I truly believe we were all born into this world whole, connected, and ready to follow what we love. Unfortunately in this current structure of our world, trauma has become a pillar of our life experiences and trauma is what disconnects us, from what we truly know, who we are, what we love, and each other. It creates an underlying feeling of unsafety, uncertainty, fear, and disconnection which we are seeing being amplified on a mass scale in our world today. I wish we didn’t have to experience this in the first place, but I have to say that we are not powerless to this.

What is going on in the world is an amalgamation of pain gone unresolved. It is also triggering our nervous systems and own personal trauma. The ability and willingness to go directly towards triggers, can shift and change our entire experience of what is going on, whether in our personal lives or political ones. We can mend what has been disconnected through emotional and become the antidote to the chaos and separation. It will not only help our communities, but it can make our own personal experience of relationships, love, passion, fulfillment, success, fun, etc. — possible.

In sessions, I show up ready to focus on and determine what the core wound that has been activated with mainly tools and practices to directly process and attend to it. I have received immense feedback from clients that I offer unmatched understanding of what they are telling me while also having the wisdom and guidance to be able to move through what is causing you distress. I also offer relatable humor and my own sense of humanity because I am not exempt from this wild human experience! I am not here to preach or make you believe that I am perfect, making you feel even more alone. I have an immense amount of respect for you and am just here offering what I’d say is natural emotional skills and tendencies, to see and experience life in a very sensitive way. This skill seems to allow me to bridge a connection between people and their emotional bodies.

I sincerely thank you in caretaking your pain by reaching out for services like these. We are not meant to do it alone.
