a practice with Emerald Niakan
our wounds are portals for healing in the dance of remembrance. we were never suppose to do this alone. if you find yourself fatigued by patterns of distance that divorce you from self-love and erode self-esteem, leaving you longing for deeper intimacy and trust, i am here to support you. i bring unwavering devotion to exalt your humanness, from shadow to light. this isn't regular talk therapy. this is the art of e m e r g e n c e.

like all of us, i am many things. things I am letting go of and things i am becoming. like you, i am on a journey of healing. i am humbled by experiences that invite me to recreate, restructure and renew, again and again. i am a therapist because i am beckoned towards an ache that never stops aching–a fierce knowing that love and connection is our birthright and this truth can never be stolen from us.
i join you in the exploration of reshaping your life. i turn towards the parts you've been patterned to turn away from. i hold a mirror to what you already know, shedding light on hidden patterns shaping your relationships, sense of self and path forward.
whatever is hurting, bring it here. it's okay to not be okay and to not know how. i am here and not turning away. being held and witnessed the first step reclaiming your e m e r g e n c e on the throne of your life.
therapy is a relationship
let’s begin with a conversation to explore what might e m e r g e

Above all, we are relational beings. Belonging and becoming are intricately linked. Relationships are worlds within themselves where we get to rewrite stories often not written by us. This is the space to deconstruct cycles of pain and separation. Relational containers are always contextual and involve a variety of relationship constellations.

Home within you is always waiting. Often we've been pattered away from living in our bodies. Secure scaffolding of self love is the healing balm for the insatiable hunger of "not enough-ness" driving the undercurrent of our lives. Individual therapy is the altar for experiencing who we really are, hidden in plain sight.

A fancy acronym for the leading evidenced-based trauma treatment and a variety of problems in experience. This work is a root-cause approach to addressing how the past is influencing the present without having to rehash in an unproductive way. A grounded resource for catalyzing lasting positive change.
