About Gray Space
In life, things are not always black and white. We often find ourselves in the gray areas - spaces of transition, uncertainty, or complexity - that can feel confusing or overwhelming. Even with the best-laid plans, best intentions, and most sincere efforts, we can sometimes end up feeling stuck, weighed down by difficult feelings and thoughts.
But there is hope. Your feelings and emotions are all valid - they are signals guiding you to deeper understanding of yourself and new possibilities.
In the gray space, we will work as a team to discover your needs and how to move forward in a way that feels right to you.
Methodology & Guiding Values:
Evidence-based practices
Culturally-sensitive
Collaborative focus
I use different methods based on the latest research in psychology, neuroscience, and the mind-body connection to tailor our work to your specific needs. I also welcome the integration of spirituality into our work together for those who find it meaningful.
As a therapist and a client, I know the courage it takes to ask for support and the profound impact that therapy can have. I know that therapy is not about fixing anyone or about having all the answers. It is a space to explore your situation, connect with your core self, and allow transformation to happen.
