MEET YOUR THERAPIST

My personal journey began in my late teens when I had a profound realization of all I didn’t know or understand regarding relationships, healing, and mental/emotional wellbeing. With no reliably mature role models around me to turn to for guidance, healthy feedback or direction, I knew I needed to begin my path of healing and learning outside of my primary family structure.

I had the heart for the journey, but I felt pretty lost on how to answer the numerous questions and frustrations I was experiencing. I was disconnected from my inner world and relationships, and challenged by the lack of support I found in the world around me. So I set out to learn what I could. This was the beginning of a life long path into the field I’ve practiced in one way or another for the past 27 years.

I began by absorbing and integrating the things that worked and sifting through far too many that promised the moon yet delivered very little return for the investment. Through trial and error, often one step forward and two back, I gradually put together a fairly vast and eclectic knowledge and understanding of the field I chose as my vocation, (or maybe it chose me, as I’ve often wondered in hindsight).

I simply found a passion and a love to understand how things go astray in one’s childhood, what can be ultimately effective in healing and righting the wrongs, and what tends to keep us stuck repeating cycles, habits and outcomes that are lesser than we set out to achieve.

This journey proved to be incredibly complex, yet over time it became quite clear and simple once I began to understand how the mind, body and emotions operate interdependently within us. I learned that to break conditioning, one must want to understand deeply how their unique conditioning has come to be. Once you see it, you can change it - but changing it without seeing it first is a fool's errand.

My passion was first and foremost only one of my own healing, growing, understanding, maturing and integrating. But all the while, while I worked, I fed the intention that I would one day use what I learned to help others figure it out as well. While I am still deeply devoted to my own self-awareness and growth, my passion is now to help others on their path. I use what I have learned to guide clients to their own healing, minus the mistakes I made and the rabbit holes I explored that ended up being full of mostly empty promises. It is a joy to streamline this process to help others to find what they were searching for without spending a lifetime getting there.
