Who is Chiron?
Wounded Healing
Chiron is a constellation, sitting between Saturn and Uranus. Named from Greek mythology, Chiron was a knowledgeable teacher and healer. An orphaned centaur, he was raised by Apollo and Artemis and later struck by a poisoned arrow. Due to these unusual circumstances, he developed the ability to teach the healing arts to others. He is called "the wounded healer" because his experiences being twice-wounded provided him with unique opportunities to help others.
​
Chiron represents our deepest wounds and the ability to transform pain into healing. Since our pain and what we value are intrinsically linked, exploring our experiences can help us find a unique path to truly thriving.

My goal for therapy is to establish a genuine relationship where we can talk honestly and openly with each other. From this place of trust, I want to help clients figure out how to adapt to and accept whatever they are dealing with. I hope you feel the warmth, humor, and non-judgmentalness I carry into every interaction.
I strongly believe that you already possess everything you need to heal and create a meaningful life. The problem is that we are faced with painful experiences that bury our intuition and encourage us to practice avoidance. We will work together so that you can uncover what you need to thrive.

A bit more about me: I’m working on all this myself! I'm trying to bring more balance, mindfulness, and fun into my life. I love reading, lying around, knitting, and taking walks, but the center of my life is my relationships (including the one I have with myself), and I prioritize these above all else.
