I welcome adults (18+) from California, Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Missouri, Oregon, Vermont, and Washington. I work best with those who feel deeply and think a lot, who have been told they're too much, too sensitive, too intense. Neurodivergent? Exploring identity, faith, purpose, or just trying to survive? I welcome you and all of you. Any background, belief, or experience. I care deeply about helping people feel safe, understood, and seen. I won't ask you to explain more than what you're comfortable with. You already belong here.
In our sessions, your thoughts and your intensity are not pathologized or minimized. We'll pay attention to what's actually happening in your life, use skills and strategies that make sense, and make changes on purpose. My approach is warm, mindful, and practical, with room for honesty, complexity, and humor.
It's okay if part of you is tired and part of you still hopes for something better. I can sit with both. If you're in California, Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Missouri, Oregon, Vermont, or Washington and this sounds like the kind of space you've been looking for, I'm here to talk!

We'll draw from DBT, existential, and trauma-focused work but I don't treat you like a protocol or put you in a box. We move at your pace, using skills, reflection, and honest conversation to see what's really happening in your life and build towards what makes life actually feel alive and more than just surviving.
