You can't sleep but you're not quite sure why. You have a vague sense that this could all be better but you don't know how to get there. No matter how hard you try you keep finding yourself in the same meh relationships. Sometimes life is much too much to manage without more support. But you CAN live a rich, full life. My work is collaborative & client-centered. I want to understand what's most important to you and how it got that way, so you have the agency to make intentional, meaningful choices in life and love. (A/O OCT '25: Space available in online therapy group supporting folks who feel isolated)
As a former tv writer, I get how stories can help or harm. Stories shape our realities, not the other way around. Together, we can rewrite a story that respects and honors your efforts so far, and makes the life you want come into sharper focus. As someone raised in two countries, I also get how tricky it is to navigate differing cultural messages.
I work with teens, adults, & couples on problems of all kinds. My interests include entertainment industry-issues, attachment issues, belonging, & gender identity. I am queer-affirming, sex-positive, and hold the position that you are the expert of your life. My gift is finding the right words to describe just what that's like in both struggle and triumph.
