I provide a safe supportive refuge for people who live outside the norm or don’t fit into boxes.
Maybe you’ve always felt different — too sensitive, too weird, too much or not enough. Maybe you feel deeply, think endlessly, and move through the world uniquely — carrying both a heaviness and a brilliance that others don’t always see. Maybe living in a world on fire has worn you down and you’re not sure how to live amidst all the suffering. Maybe anxiety, burnout, or the the weight of a chronic illness has left you disconnected from the life you want. Whatever brings you here, you are invited in exactly as you are.
With over 20 years of experience as a therapist, I help adults navigate anxiety, grief, neurodiversity, and the challenges of living within a world filled with dis-ease. My approach is eclectic and creative. Whether through contemplative conversation, expressive art, or practical tools for daily life, we’ll find what helps support and empower you.
If you’re longing for a place to feel seen, heard, accepted, and supported in all your uniqueness, I’d be honored to walk alongside you on your healing journey.
