Welcome, Let’s Talk

Welcome to Written Within—a space where our work together invites a deeper understanding of yourself, your life experiences, and the relationships that shape you. Whether you’ve been to therapy before or it’s your first time, I’m here to help. The way I view life informs every session: with curiosity, compassion, and respect for the complexity of being human. Together, we explore patterns, practice mindfulness, and identify what is uniquely yours—while gently noticing which patterns/stories no longer serve you and how you might embody a more authentic one.

Your story is already Written Within.

Trauma-informed therapy that helps adults and young people build resilience, regulation, and relational clarity.

Some stories are learned in survival. Others can be chosen.

What story are you holding with you?

What’s the story you want to create?

At the heart of this work is a simple yet important question: Who are you, and How did you get here?

Often, we carry images of ourselves that once served us (or were shaped by others) and no longer fit the chapter we are in now.

Sometimes healing begins by pausing, taking a breath, exploring or remembering who you are, so you can continue writing your story with intention and choice.

I’m here to walk with you through that process.

Our work together

In a world that moves faster than ever, therapy offers an opportunity to slow down—to cultivate patience, kindness, and accountability within yourself in ways that can meaningfully impact how you live.

Through both reflection and practical skills, you are supported in growing at your own pace, taking what we explore in session into your everyday life. My hope is that by developing a more authentic relationship with yourself, you build the courage to live in alignment with your values and goals.
