They say the only constant in life is change. But change is hard! We as humans tend to feel comfort in predictability and routine, and change (especially when sudden, unexpected, and/or tragic) inherently challenges us to sit with discomfort. Even deliberate and "happy" changes like starting a new career, getting married, journeying through gender transition, or beginning a sober lifestyle can still cause a myriad of complicated emotions as you adjust to your new life. Finding meaning in those changes while learning skills to manage the added stress is an empowering, healing, and worthwhile endeavor.

My approach is person-centered & non-pathologizing, aka not focused on the diagnosis but rather on problem-solving the challenges life throws at you. We’ll explore how to best utilize your strengths & abilities to problem-solve your presenting concerns instead of trying to “fix” who you are. You are not “broken” for having an adverse reaction to change!

I named my practice Capybara Counseling because I'm a mild weirdo, but more importantly I'm a clinician who shows up for my clients with unconditional acceptance of who they are now and who they want to become. If we work together, you will be supported, cherished, and valued. So if you're enduring an overwhelming change, let's navigate it together.
