"...have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves... Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer."
- Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters To A Young Poet.
Welcome
Being human is wild, and these days, very overwhelming and confusing. Confronted by this, as empathetic beings, confronts us with our humanness that we're aware of and parts we have yet to explore. While therapy certainly is what you make of it, who's there alongside you for the journey can make the difference. The process is one of examining the knowledge of yourself, your life, and identifying what is helpful and, or hurtful - and therefore what might benefit revision, or altogether writing new chapters. That is why I share that Rilke quote above - because we all do have questions; and the way we find the answers, those answers that truly do change our lives, comes from building within. It comes from the courage to look within, at you, the human. That's what I offer, the space for safely searching within, testing the boundaries and beginning that journey to your answers.
The Experience I Offer
I respectfully acknowledge the original peoples of the land wherein I live and work. The land of the Muhheconneok or Mohican Peoples, and the Wabanaki, who were displaced from their lands by colonizers and settlers, and who relocated to Wisconsin, where today they are known as the Stockbridge Munsee Community.
I am from the Berkshires, I have worked with folks with a wide range of struggles including, but not limited to anxiety, depression, relationship issues, LGBTQ+ identified folks, women's issues, and postpartum. This has informed the person-centered, holistic view I take as a therapist. I have a bachelors in Expressive Arts Therapies, and a Masters in Mental Health Counseling with specialization in Drama Therapy, both from Lesley University. I am a supporter of the LGBTQ2S+ community, BIPOC community, Social Justice Aligned, and Health at Any Weight. I am actively working to offer decentralized, and decolonized therapy, emphasizing and focusing on the connection to your individual culture, community, as the path to healing.
