We Are Shaped in Connection And we heal there, too.

From the moment we arrive in the world, we’re wired for connection. We learn who we are—what we’re allowed to feel, how much space we’re allowed to take up, and how to reach for what we want and hold it with us.

In families, in friendships, in love—we are shaped. Sometimes we’re shaped in the warmth of being seen and soothed.
Sometimes in the ache of being misunderstood, dismissed, or alone. And even when those moments are long behind us, their imprint can stick around. You might notice it in the way you move through the world now:

• Bracing for rejection or disappointment

• Struggling to ask for what you need

• Feeling unseen in your relationships

• Putting others first until there’s nothing left for you

• Feeling anxious, shut down, or stuck—without knowing why

These patterns were learned and adapted because they were helpful at a time. that means they can shift and take on a new shape.

If you’ve landed here, something in you is reaching for something different. I want to honor that.

I know I may be a stranger to you right now. Starting therapy can feel vulnerable—sometimes overwhelming. We’ll move at the pace that feels right for you. Over time, our work together will unfold and evolve alongside you as you shift and grow. Sometimes I’ll offer new ideas or tools to support your process. Other times, we’ll pay close attention to the dynamic between us—because how we connect here can hold powerful insights into how you move through the world.

But above all, I trust in your inner wisdom to guide us.

You can’t think your way into feeling better.
Feeling better… has to be felt.

Within the safety of our therapeutic relationship, we’ll gently invite your full emotional experience to the surface. We’ll explore both your present life and the experiences & connections that shaped you. Together, we’ll create space for the parts of you stuck in the shadows to come forward to be seen, known, and supported. And together, we will help you embody your fullest self.
