“Everyone keeps telling me how my story is supposed to go. Nah. I'm-a do my own thing.” - Miles Morales, AKA Spider-Man 

I believe that our past is just a story we tell ourselves. Often, these stories are centered around trauma and hardships. The most painful parts of our lives get center stage, with our triumphs and happiness cast somewhere to the side.  

What is more than the story of our lives, is the lessons we take from these stories. More often than not, these lessons are some version of “I am not good enough.” I am here to tell you that you are not the problem. You are the solution. And that’s why you’re on this page right now. 

I want to tell you a story about elephants. A man is walking through a field one day, and sees a herd of elephants chained in a field. The elephants are tied using only a rope and a wooden stake around one of their feet. The man is confused, and asks another person, “why don’t the elephants just pull out the ropes and be free?” 

The person explains that the elephants are tied up like that when they are babies, and at that time they are not strong enough to pull out the ropes. By the time they are adults, the elephants don’t even try to pull out the ropes, because they learned long ago that they are not strong enough. 

I believe that humans are in the same predicament; trapped by a set of limited beliefs that tell us we’re not strong enough to do the things we dream of.  

I support my clients in understanding and challenging the stories they tell themselves, thinking about the lessons these stories instill, and working together to cut the ropes that are holding them back from being the dream version of themselves; the one they may not have even known was possible.  

I am a Social Worker with several years of experience working with families, couples, teens, and children. My best skill is listening to others and helping them to connect with themselves and learn from their challenging experiences. I am trained in interventions such as Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS), Circle of Security, Emotion Focused Family Therapy (EFFT), Narrative Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).   

I use a person-centered approach, meaning that my clients decide which of the above interventions is the right fit for their needs, including none. I am here to listen and support, but you decide where it is that we want to go. 

I would love to support you in finding the next steps to having better mental health, and figuring out where it is that you’d like to go on your path to greatness.
