Teletherapy for Nantucket, MA

My clients are the former high-achievers who now are chronically burnt out. They kept overpacked schedules, were people pleasers, or silently struggled passing under the radar. Perhaps they have been able to keep up this pace and approach into adulthood- for a while. Many of my clients have reached a point where they want to make changes to how they approach their life, mental health, personal relationships, and boundaries. We will work together to look at your day to day challenges, and consider how systems like capitalism, racism, ableism, fatphobia, and anti-LGBTQIA rhetoric effects you and your lived experience.

When asked what an ideal client is, my response is that it does not exist and often the issue that a client starts with evolves into something different. The goal is to work with each individual to develop a sense of the problem and begin to look at strategies to move towards solutions. For some people that involves a few weeks of therapy and fo others, it is a longer journey
