There’s a story about a Buddha statue covered in layers of clay. Long ago, its creators hid it this way to protect it, and over time, people forgot what lay beneath. For years, the clay statue stood as a symbol of strength and resilience. Then one day, a crack appeared, revealing something extraordinary underneath: a core of gleaming gold.

Sometimes, life layers us in the same way. Experiences, challenges, and the need to protect ourselves can cover up the deeper treasures of who we are. Therapy offers a space to gently explore those layers—not to change who you are, but to help you reconnect with the brilliance and wholeness already within you.

My approach to therapy is collaborative and tailored to your unique needs. I draw from a variety of tools and modalities—whether mindfulness, dreamwork, or trauma-informed practices like EMDR—to help you feel grounded and supported. Together, we’ll identify what’s most important to you and create a plan to move toward growth and healing. Whether you’re seeking clarity, connection, or a way forward, therapy can be a powerful place to start.

Beginning therapy is a big step, and it’s normal to feel a mix of emotions—maybe some nervousness, a little curiosity, or even a sense of eager anticipation. Taking time to reflect and seek help is a powerful act of self-care and growth. The fact that you’re here, reading this, means that part of you is ready to take that step.

You don’t have to do it alone. Let’s uncover the gold within and create a life that feels authentic, meaningful, and whole.
