I work with people who are 30-40s, have been in therapy already, and need different tools to stop feeling trapped. We don't want to be disillusioned, but where do we put all the grief, fear, & rage? I work with those who have been prey to other's cruelty; who wonder if life is always going to be hard. I understand it eats you up at night, you might ruminate, panic & lash out at people you love. I think if you feel lonely, different, desperate, and full of shame that it makes sense. I know you're not the only one who feels like a failure because of it. I teach people how to forgive themself, get free, and move forward.
I use Adlerian art psychotherapy to reintroduce you to joy. Uncover mistaken logic, return to your innate strengths, and find belonging again. Using the body, creativity & right-brain methods could help therapy suck less. I offer EMDR, art, somatic, and spiritual interventions.
I know it takes so much effort & time to find and hear back from therapists, let alone one who's a good-enough fit. Keep going! See more about my anti-oppression practice on my website and reach out now.

Psychoanalysis promotes insight. Mindfulness, acceptance & compassion reduces inflammatory stress in your overloaded nervous system. Exposures will negate the shut-down response.
