There's a part of you, deep down, that believes that you will never be enough. Smart enough, attractive enough, successful enough, likable enough, good enough. I want to tell that fearful part of you that I recognize it's trying to protect you from getting hurt. So you never put yourself out there or take a risk that could be life-changing. I know how hard it is to take a leap of faith, because stability and monotony are safe. If you don't try to go after what you want, you can't fail. And failing is really, really scary. 

I also spent many years in the safety of monotony and stability, being too afraid to put myself out there and take risks. I worked several different jobs that didn't quite click for me, kept friendships with people who I didn't feel like really "got" me, and felt a general sense of unease and anxiety as I wandered through life. After working through my self-doubt in my own therapy for years, I now believe that I can achieve the goals I set my mind to. I feel confident in my ability to make it through whatever shit life throws at me (it might not be pretty, but I know I can make it to the other side one way or another!). I believe we can achieve that for you, too, whatever your unique path may look like. I can't wait to get to know you and support you through the challenges you may face in your life. 

I love working with adults (especially ages 18-25) around issues including self-esteem, anxiety, body image, grief, and trauma. We will work together to dismantle shame, be more gentle with ourselves, and live with more ease and harmony. I like to use an Internal Family Systems (IFS) lens to explore the often-contradictory multitudes that we contain and to extend compassion towards the parts of ourselves we tend to reject. All parts of you are welcome in sessions with me. I also often use a somatic focus to encourage connection to the body and to understand how emotions may show up as sensations. 

I have a suggested sliding scale fee of $30-$100; you can choose what amount you are able to pay. I am required to video-record most of my sessions. My schedule will likely be variable and I may take a few weeks off of seeing clients at a time, for example when I am on break from school, so I cannot guarantee you will have a session with me every week.
