About My Clients

An Octopus in human form is a person in perpetual motion juggling the high needs responsibilities of others and constantly shifting to avoid danger. Human Octopi are often the rock that steadies and anchors those in their orbit. Are you running on empty, losing steam This is not the life you ordered, pull up its QR code, go to your nearest high end grocery chain and send it back!

My Background and Approach

I specialize in helping helpers. The people I work with are exhausted and overwhelmed because they never learned that perpetual altruism is dangerous. The clients I work with are often in the middle of their lives. They are navigating parenting high needs children and assuming the role of caregiver for those that raised them. My clients are often the oldest in their birth order or only children. They learned to set the standard for success at an early age. They’ve lived ¾ of their lives fearing failure and disappointing others. The spectrum between good and bad does not exist for my clients.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that mental wellness can be achieved by the older adults who desire it. Everyone deserves a space where they can be authentic in their exploration of how they experience the world.
