You feel overwhelmed, burned out, or depleted. You're the one everyone counts on, yet you worry you're nearing the end of your rope. Your achievement-oriented focus leaves you without space for what matters to you. You wish you had more time for yourself and could dismiss thoughts about what else you “should” be doing. Simultaneously, when you're not carrying everyone else's loads, you look at the mess (climate & politics) around you and don't know how to respond. Maybe you wish you could be optimistic or hopeful, but you feel cynical or helpless. You're seeking reprieve & energy to spend where, when, and as you wish.
We’ll examine your values and priorities to reconnect you to you. Attending to your nervous system will help you breathe and better manage your capacity and relationships. We’ll seek to create nurturing habits, leading to more fulfillment. I work with folks experiencing anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, work-related stress, & distress about our world.
You don’t have to compromise wellbeing in favor of endless productivity. You can build the lifestyle and community you want while finding connection and belonging as well as space. Sessions with me are a place to rage & cry & swear–and also to laugh & slow down. Review my website to learn more and to book a free consultation. Meanwhile, take care.

Sometimes, you don't know why you're feeling the way you are. You're not certain whether it's depression or anxiety or trauma, but something keeps you from feeling joy. You can't pinpoint what's wrong and may remind yourself others have it worse. But, you're still suffering. And you can benefit from connecting with someone who will sit and sort through the muck with you.
