I help high-achieving creatives, perfectionists, and people-pleasers find more authenticity, balance, and calm. Productivity, high expectations and performance, showing up for others, and self-reliance may be socially acceptable but also contribute to overfunctioning, burnout, validation-seeking, imposter syndrome, harsh inner critic, compartmentalization, dissociation, self-abandonment, codependency, hypervigilance, and emotional over-regulation. Perhaps you can be rigid and controlling, judgmental and impatient, concerned with status and appearance, feel both too much and not enough, feel less than or other, and chronically lonely
I typically work with the LGBTQ+ community seeking support around life stages and transitions, career issues, relationships, polyamory and non-monogamy, gender, sexuality, identity, intersectionality, and neurodivergence. I also completed a Health Coaching certificate program at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in 2010 and view wellness holistically.
I have an interactive, relational style and hold an affirming space for a collaborative therapeutic relationship where clients feel seen, heard, and empowered. Seeking support is a sign of strength, you are not a burden, and you deserve care. It’s an honor and privilege to walk beside and guide clients along their healing journey.
