Does Any of the Following Sound Familiar?
-
​You give so much of yourself in your relationships, but end up feeling emotionally abandoned, just like when you were a child. It’s a lonely pattern that leaves you asking, “Why do I keep choosing emotionally unavailable assholes? Will I ever find someone who sees me for who I am?” If this sounds like your experience, you can read more here.

Maybe you've found yourself stuck in the past, reliving something terrible you've experienced over and over again in your mind. Your mind feels like it's in a loop, and you can't find your way out. You want to move on... from the childhood that felt empty, from the divorce that sucked you dry, from the accident, assault or event that forever changed your sense of safety and security in the world. And you're ready to do the work needed to process it. You want to feel better now. You want the nightmares to stop, the avoidance to end, and to believe that you are safer now, capable now, enough now. If you're feeling like this is you, you can read more about my approach for healing here.

Maybe you’re navigating a different kind of heartache—the devastating loss of a child. There are no words for this kind of pain. And while people try to comfort you, their words don’t reach the depth of your grief. You feel isolated, asking yourself, “Is there anyone out there who understands this pain?” While I wish you weren't going through this pain, you can read more here about how I have helped people, just like you.​​​​

I know it can be hard to find the right fit for your therapist, so I want you get a good feel about where my specialties lie. You deserve a therapist who understands exactly what you are bringing into the therapy room, how tender you feel reaching out for help for these exact problems, and also one that can effectively treat those problems so you can feel better, sooner!
Here’s Who I Help Best:
-
Highly Sensitive People, who feel emotions deeply, are overstimulated by noise, lights, etc., and often feel overwhelmed by the world around them.
-
Those with anxiety that isn’t general—it’s specific, sharp, and painful, the kind that feels shameful even to think about, let alone share.
-
People who are just now realizing that their emotionally cold, affectionless childhood wasn’t normal—and in fact, was deeply traumatic.
-
Individuals who’ve experienced major weight loss, whether through GLP-1 medications or bariatric surgery, and are now navigating life in a body that feels unfamiliar—even if it’s now more socially “acceptable.”
-
Late-diagnosed or self-suspected ADHDers and Autistic folks trying to make sense of their brains and lives, often after years of feeling misunderstood.
-
Bereaved parents, grieving the death of a child or pregnancy loss​, and wondering how to move through the most painful experience they've ever had.
