YOUR IS YOUR
sensitivity
superpower
As a fellow highly sensitive person, former people-pleasing, boundary-less, intuitive, empath, (and all the other buzzwords); I can truly understand the strength it takes to show up for yourself. I work with folks in NC and MA who want to break generational cycles, change the narrative with emotionally immature parents/people, or are beginning to question the status quo.
If that's you, you're in the right place.

WAYS WE CAN WORK TOGETHER
Does weekly therapy not quite work with your schedule?
Or maybe an hour a week doesn't always feel like enough?
Do you have the therapeutic skills and tools, but find that what you know in your head doesn't always align with what you feel in your body?
Perhaps you're feeling stuck? Maybe it's something else?

Therapy looks differently now. The old school head nodding, passive engagement, and ‘how does that make you feel?’ is a thing of the past. I enjoy actively supporting and challenging folks in their process of reflection, introspection, and growth. My approach is compassionate yet direct. I work best with people who are asking questions, shifting relationships with themselves or others, and who are committed to showing up and/or learning more about their authentic, vulnerable, and values focused self.

I never wanted to be a therapist! I knew I wanted to work with folks in a helping capacity and I also knew I most certainly did not want to be a therapist. It felt too limiting. And then at the open house of my grad school, I was introduced to the trauma program. One of the only trauma-specific graduate programs in the country at the time and I learned of the versatility of licensure. I learned of the exciting opportunities that I could experience while helping people and my passion was ignited.

EMDR is my go-to trauma therapy for clients. I have seen it change people’s lives. It is transformative, healing, and I have yet to work with a client who hasn’t reported immense benefits. Read more below or send along questions!

Gray is my favorite color! (Not really, it’s actually purple.) Therapeutically though, gray is where so much growth and progress happen. Decisions, boundaries, LIFE can feel so black and white, but we can thrive in the gray. I support folks in finding their gray. I find language to be so impactful. When used with intention it can be profound, meaningful, and healing; however, when used carelessly it can be dismissive, invalidating, and painful. I work with folks to build and strengthen congruency with their language and experiences so that they find comfort and peace in the gray.
