In this increasingly “good vibes only” culture, do you feel that you need to hide parts of yourself in order to fit in or be included in the group? Do you feel like you’re either too much or not enough? Like you’re the black sheep in your family or with your friends? You may have been thrown into an adult role as a child, having to emotionally care for your parent or caregiver, at the expense of your own emotional development, growth, or even safety. If this sounds familiar, there is hope.
I thrive in my work with creative, high-achieving adults who are curious about how to foster a greater sense of self-compassion and self-esteem. My clients often step into therapy when they're experiencing stress or anxiety, are finding it difficult to cope with personal or professional burnout, or are struggling to show up fully and authentically in their relationships. Ultimately, my hope is that therapy becomes a collaborative space where you feel seen, valued, and supported.
My clients are usually artists, lawyers, and young professionals who struggle with depression, anxiety, and / or bipolar disorder. They are often burdened with high stress, burnout, or creative blocks and have tried to help themselves but don't see the deeper changes they sought, so they reach out to me. My hope is that our work together will untangle what you're feeling and help you feel more content.
