Who we are:
As both a psychologist and human-being, I believe that truly seeing and understanding someone means listening without an agenda or judgement and doing so with kindness and patience. I strive to know you, the life you want to build for yourself, and help you get there. I respect the vulnerability involved in seeking therapy, have come to this work through my own journey and view helping as others as one of life’s greatest honors.
The name of my practice was inspired by some of my clients comments about what it was like to experience trauma therapy with me. If you’re curious, please see below.
Sculpted
Someone once described trauma therapy as learning how to sculpt from a master sculptor…it takes trust that eventually you will see the nose of the statue that you were told exists, but only occasionally caught glimpses of.
Someone once described feeling as though they were a phoenix rising from the ashes as they learned skills to continue their life after experiencing trauma.
When these perspectives were shared with me, I immediately agreed! I fully believe that trauma therapy is about fostering what already exists inside everyone and forming a connection between the person that survived the trauma and that inner self that innately existed prior to the traumatic experience with knowledge and skills taught with the compassion of a guiding hand on a potters wheel.
