Trauma. Anxiety. Depression. Emotional dysregulation. They make life feel chaotic, frightening, and lonely. We can spiral into dark places or suddenly act out. Patterns may form. But it doesn't have to be that way! While these may sound like experiences most adults face eventually, if we don't have enough support to process our difficult emotions, they can almost seem to take over our bodies and minds completely. So here's how life could feel instead: like you have easy access to your calm and rational thoughts; you have stable, close, authentic relationships, and all the motivation you need to create the life you really want.
I help people of all genders recover from stress or trauma, improve emotional intelligence, and live smoother, deeper, more meaningful lives. A session with me is like a long, friendly conversation with a cup of critical thinking, a dash of philosophical theory and a meditation garnish. I'm a creative, visual thinker and sometimes I communicate in pictures.
You can talk to me about your real life, I don't ever want you to feel like you need to edit your words. It's ok to talk openly about sex or drugs or anything else. My practice is progressive, intersectionally feminist, Pro-Choice, Anti-Racist, Queer, Trans, Poly, and Sex Worker friendly. NEW! 30-min. Virtual Mini Sessions for only $70.

Groups
Revision Writer's Group
Reclaim your voice. Creative writing is one of the most powerful ways to process our emotions because it allows us to gain authority over how our story is told. Emotional experiences often elude verbal language. We may recall time shifts, metaphorical imagery or fragmented information; which lend themselves beautifully to the poetic form. Instead of reliving a painful experience, let’s make something out of it. Group therapy is also 40% less expensive than individual sessions.
