You’ve been working so hard to figure things out. You realize you have come a long way from where things used to be. And yet, there are many days where it still feels like a struggle. Sometimes it is hard to keep fighting, to keep moving, because it’s taken so long to get here and yet things just do not seem as fulfilling as you thought. On challenging days, you feel exhausted, worried, depressed, lonely and even hopeless. Sometimes it can get so overwhelming, thinking about all the things you need to work on or prepare for in this life. And sometimes you might even ask yourself “what am I even doing? Do I even know what I want?”

A part of you senses there is more beyond what you’ve experienced. And that these systems and scripts that were passed down from families, culture, or society are boxing you in from your true potential. But what is on the other side? What if it’s worse? You’ve heard the sayings “let go” and “surrender” and you understand this logically, but it seems so scary. Your body feels tense and nervous thinking about the unknown. And yet, a part of you deep down knows there is more out there for you. And more importantly, there is more inside of you that you have yet to discover. 

When we are young, our true essence emerges but we are often influenced by our environments and family and taught to suppress or push these parts of us down because they don’t “fit” with what is expected. 

 I will help you learn to rediscover these parts of yourself that have been pushed down so you can learn to integrate them back into your life. You will learn about what makes you the unique human that you are, and by doing so, you will start to align your life with what feels true and authentic to your core. Ultimately, you have the answers to what fulfills you, but I will help you remove blockages to these answers. You will learn to let go of any shame you have been carrying about yourself so that you can finally step into your authentic self. 

Kindred Chrysalis is the liminal space where our pain, our old stories, our traumas, can finally be transmuted. You are safe in the chrysalis to explore and learn about yourself. Sometimes, it may feel uncomfortable or even painful, but learning to allow yourself to feel these emotions is what helps you release and reprocess them. I will help guide and support you through it. You deserve to experience so many wonderful things in this life. Play, connection, pleasure, community, and LOVE. 

I offer individual and couples/relationship therapy for adults in Tustin, CA (Orange County) and all California residents through telehealth.

I specialize in sex therapy and psychedelic assisted psychotherapy (via ketamine) because I believe that the most “taboo” topics in society are where we hold the most shame. And shame is really a huge part of what holds us back to living the lives we truly want and desire.
