Being human is often tough. Sometimes we lose our way and can feel stuck and overwhelmed. Sometimes we would like to change parts of our lives or ourselves but don’t know how. Therapy can be an empowering way to promote healing, growth, and wellness. Often, we initially seek treatment to address a specific concern and then begin to uncover other areas of our lives in which we want to make meaningful change. My goal is for this process to feel supportive, affirming, and appropriately challenging.
Are you just f-ing tired? A car accident left you emotionally paralyzed. An assault shook up your life. A recent medical diagnosis or crisis has you questioning what's next. All the "why" questions are flying through your head and the constant noise is driving you nuts. You want things to make sense. You want to feel like yourself again. Most of all, you want to go back in time to the thing that changed your body and do everything in your power to prevent in from happening. The problem is, no on

You've always done everything right. And yet, your world's just been turned upside down on you. You've been completely walloped by a death or health diagnosis, relationship dissatisfaction, or the overall stress and overwhelm of daily life. Waves of hard feelings keep coming at you, and your best efforts to deal with them aren't helping nearly enough. But since you're normally the one who has it all together, everyone thinks you're doing way better than you really are.
Do you sometimes feel like you are bad at being an adult? All of the "little" things required to function feel impossible to keep up with, so how are you ever supposed to get to those big goals and dreams you have? And how do others make it look so easy? The people I work with are vibrant and creative, yet often feel a deep sense of inner chaos, overwhelm, and shame just beneath the surface. If this is you, let's connect to talk about how I can help!
I work with people who are leading (or hoping to lead) unconventional lives: artists, activists, entrepreneurs, founders and creators. I also specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ folx and neurodivergent people (autism spectrum, gifted, ADHD, etc.) If you are at high risk for bunrout (which is a lot of us, given the current climate), I also offer coaching around preventing or dealing with burnout.
The people I work well with often feel misunderstood or dismissed by dominant culture. You deserve so much better than that. Please don't give up hope. The people I meet with are often their own awesome, unique blend of being Neurodivergent, Autistic, Trans, Gender nonconforming, Queer, Black, Native, or persons of culture, who have experienced trauma and anxiety due to being marginalized/abused/assaulted.
