Licensed Professional Counselor
Grief and loss are integral parts to the human experience and are not something just caused by death. We can grieve loss of a friendship, changes in identity, a crisis of faith, and even positive changes like marriage, motherhood, etc. You might be feeling confused or distressed by this grief and that is okay. You may be experiencing new symptoms of depression or anxiety and that too, is normal. You deserve a space to better understand the world and yourself as you learn how to navigate life.
I believe all people have the ability to heal in the right environments with the right support. My aim is to create a safe space where people can be empowered to explore and heal; a place that fosters compassion for self and others.
If you’re interested in learning more about yourself using the Enneagram, give me a call and let’s chat about Enneagram coaching, which is also something I enjoy offering to my clients.
If you have been considering counseling, I would love to hear from you even if it is just questions about the process of counseling. Please email or call me, I hope to start this journey together.
ABOUT ME:
My worst habit is autopilot that prioritizes productivity instead of presence. So for me, slowing down to cook with loved ones and laugh over meals keeps me grounded and awake to myself. My most healing moments are spent with family and friends that have become family. I need the (very) slow walks with my geriatric golden retriever to notice my own sense of self- to notice what I want and what I need.
I believe that this autopilot does not come from nowhere. As we move through the world- one that is stratified by race\gender\sexual orientation\socioeconomic status we are taught that our value comes from what we know, how we look, and what we accomplish. We are taught that some people are more valuable than others. In this, we all learn to reject and exile the very things that make us ourselves. Although very much a work in progress, everyday I’m trying to learn what it means to be accepting of my full humanity.
