You've spent years trying to function like everyone else and second guessing whether everyone else is white-knuckling their way through life. But our systems and structures aren't built for you and it shows up in your daily life as burnout and canceled plans. There was a moment — a diagnosis, conversation, video online — where you began believing yourself. And now you're sitting with a new question: if this is how I'm actually wired, what do I do with that? The answer might mean making some hard decisions — about your job, your routines, the way you've been taking care of yourself. Or not taking care of yourself.

I work with clients who are done overriding their body and brain and ready to start listening to what they've been trying to say. Together we'll unpack how the environments and expectations you've internalized have shaped the way you move through the world. From there, we can identify your needs and wants when they're not being held down by feelings of guilt and shame — and use that as a foundation for building a life that actually fits. For clients interested in the non-traditional, I incorporate creative techniques like art and sandplay to help us access what feels hard to put into words.

This type of work requires a strong therapeutic relationship between therapist and client — revealing such intimate parts of who you are isn't an easy process for many. I encourage potential clients to interview therapists, myself included, for who they feel most at ease with. If we work together, my priority is to build a foundation of trust and safety that enables communication that feels open and safe — always. You are the expert on your own experience.
