You are the expert on your own life experiences and identities. You deserve to feel empowered, ...

Possibilities and impossibilities fold our lives, leaving creases. Within the design, patterns can repeat and patterns can change, but they can also be lost, cruel, unreasonable, mysterious. My faith in talk therapy abides here, where the therapeutic space gives us the opportunity to look at the creases and, perhaps for the first time, to see them as folds in a pattern that can be worked through, shifted, or transformed. In our work together, I will provide the deep care and curiosity needed to ...
