You're tired. Maybe not the kind of tired sleep fixes, more like the kind that comes from years of holding everything together, carrying others' needs, and trying to keep things from falling apart. You might find yourself reading the room, bracing for someone's mood to shift. Or maybe you've checked out. Gone quiet. Stopped explaining what you need because it never landed. Somewhere along the way, your feelings got pushed aside. Maybe you learned early they weren't welcome, that you were "too much" or "too sensitive," or that keeping the peace mattered more than being honest. So you adapted. You shrank. You got good at being "fine".

Many of my clients want to feel better- to change their situation- with the support of someone who understands what it is like to feel lost or invisible. Many have hard jobs, work remotely, are either separated from family and friends or feeling alienated. My clients feel angry, isolated, lonely, anxious, depressed- and stuck. The couples I see are working through life's challenges and want a couple's counselor who gets them, who instead of pointing blame- finds solutions. Clients range from Hollywood to military, and teenagers to construction workers. Whatever your challenges, I will meet you there and help you navigate through.
