As a trauma-centered and embodied therapist, I combine talk therapy with the use of play, art, and the body as tools for healing and liberation. I am curious about how wounds of the past and harmful expectations have impacted your sense of wholeness. You might be someone who learned exactly who you "ought" to be from a very young age. Boxes are easier to fit into when you're small. They feel safe, too, especially if your family or culture has been boxing parts of themselves away for generations. But any condition that limits your ability to fully step into the wholeness of who you are is ultimately damaging. Our time together will look like unboxing; unstacking, unpacking, and cracking open each layer of you. We will get to know the parts of you that you have had to store away for the sake of family, culture, and society. We will tend to the parts of you that seek love and a sense of belonging, but perhaps never felt either. You deserve to feel whole and complete, you deserve to have safe and fulfilling relationships, and you deserve the messy, painful, and wildly joyful journey back home to the you that lives outside of the boxes.
