About My Clients
I work with folks who experience anxiety, panic, depression, mood swings, who feel like they just don't fit in and maybe never have, who are exhausted trying to maintain perfection in every area of life. Many of my clients identify as queer, neurodivergent, whether clinically assessed or self-identified. Some don't know if that's the case but curious to explore in a caring, nonjudgmental space. You are the expert on you and we work together to nurture self-awareness, compassion and acceptance.
My Background and Approach
Therapy is a collaborative, practical, organic process. We move at your pace and really listen, without rushing forward, until you feel ready. We practice knowing you in your uniqueness without worrying about conforming to unreal expectations. We nurture self-awareness, compassion and acceptance, while trying out small, incremental, sustainable changes that support wellness and wholeness. You can expect gradual lifting of symptoms, early success in moving towards goals.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I came to counseling based on my own transformative experience participating in extensive therapy for several years. I know from personal experience how life-changing it can be. So much so that I knew I wanted to be a part of facilitating that process for others. So I pivoted a bit later in life, studied to become a professional counselor. I am also a late-identified neurodivergent person who has found her niche. I never felt like I fit in with others my whole life. Now I accept who I am, as I am, & have developed a network of friends & supports who accept & celebrate me as me. I am a fierce advocate & ally for the quirky, the queer, the quintessentially curious folks who know delightfully random facts about a multitude of subjects but haven't figured out how to make it through a day without bare-knuckled panic & are exhausted with trying to project chill, non-flustered perfection. You know it's an act but what else are you going to do? Gotta keep on. Don't let them see you sweat.
