It has become a passion of mine to support others (maybe even yourself), in untangling the messages we’ve received from outside sources and, instead, create a life that is as meaningful and unique as we all are.
I have always been someone who has valued deep connection. Like many of us, I absorbed messages from the world around me that made it hard to accept certain parts of myself. I spent years trying to erase my sensitive nature, curly hair, attraction to women, and other things that made me, me.
Through my own therapy journey, I began to understand how conforming had created distance, not connection in my life. I learned how to live my values of authenticity and vulnerability by gaining insight into how easily one could lose themself while striving to fit a societal ideal.
Like all of us, I still have work to do and my life is still messy. However, since becoming more attuned to my needs, beliefs, and values, my life is also full of pleasure, joy and that connection I was craving. I have embraced my curly hair, my queer identity, and now celebrate and honor my sensitivity.
Outside of the therapy world, I enjoy hiking, traveling, trying new foods and adventuring with my partner and our border collie, Piper.
