About My Clients

If you found your way here, you’re probably feeling a certain kind of way. Full of rage? Overwhelmed? Stuck? Freaked out? Tapped out? OVER IT? There are A LOT of reasons to feel any (all?) of these feelings. I get it. I’ve been there. It’s part of being human in a complicated world. Life is hard. I don't know a single person who hasn't at one point felt like managing their feelings and brain is a second (third, fourth) full-time job. You can do more than just hold it together.

My Approach to Helping

I approach therapy as a partnership, helping people navigate relationships, habits, and parts of their identity they’re still learning to understand and manage. I’m here to offer perspective and guidance, and to help you develop and feel confident and equipped with skills to live a content life. I'm not going to ask you to stand in front of a mirror and tell yourself you are smart enough, good enough. I'm not going to ask you to parent your inner child. I’m going to meet you where you are and help you tap into your natural resilience. It’s in you. You have the strength, courage, and skills necessary to overcome the obstacles that get in the way of enjoying a fulfilling life.

More About the People I Treat

I help adults who are tired of living a superhuman life, where people see you as a high-functioning success while you feel exhausted and on-the brink inside. I help blue dots in seas of red and purple. I see people navigating the under-understood and often dismissed physical and emotional realities of Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), perimenopause, and menopause. I help creative types who spend too much time doubting themselves. I see sassy and sarcastic folks for whom humor is a big part of their personality. And animal lovers, I see a lot of animal lovers.
