Do you wake up with the feeling that something just isn’t right? Are you carrying the weight of anxiety, sadness, fear, overwhelm—or perhaps a combination of emotions that feels difficult to untangle? Whether your struggles are visible to others or hidden beneath a carefully maintained exterior, carrying that burden alone can be exhausting. You may know exactly what’s causing these feelings, or you may simply know that you're stuck and longing for something different. Whatever your circumstances, change is possible, and you don’t have to navigate it alone.

You wake up already tired, moving through your days on autopilot while pressure keeps
stacking up. Work demands more than it gives back, and relationships feel strained or distant. You notice yourself snapping, shutting down, or feeling disconnected from the man you used to be. Life transitions, repeated setbacks, and long-standing patterns have left you feeling boxed in, unsure how things drifted this far off course. You’re stuck in a crap sandwich, and you need a way out – STAT. Yet every attempt to fix it falls short. It’s not lack of effort – you just need to know how to reset so you can find a sense of balance and direction.

I'm drawn to clients who long for their lives to change, and those with traumatic histories of feeling like they're "too much," "not enough," or like they don't matter. These histories often manifest as anxiety, depression, trauma, self-defeating, intense emotions, perfectionism, relationship issues, suicidal ideation, self-injury, and dependencies. I am passionate about creating loving, deep relationships with clients that encourage taking risks and learning new ways of relating to oneself. As a mixed race, non-binary, abolitionist therapist, I aim to make intentional space for LGBTQIA2S, BIPOC, chronically ill / disabled folks.

Intervention Therapists
How does an intervention work?
An intervention is a planned, structured meeting in which a person’s family or friends voice concerns about the person’s behavior and its consequences; the goal is for the person to accept treatment. In this meeting, the person’s loved ones (often with the guidance of a trained interventionist) share how the person’s behavior has harmed them and the consequences if the person refuses treatment. They collectively ask the person to accept a proposed treatment plan.
How effective are interventions?
There isn’t extensive research on the efficacy of interventions, in part because success is difficult to measure. Individuals often enter addiction treatment after an intervention, for example, but treatment itself may not work, especially if the person only begins due to external pressure from others rather than due to internal motivation to change. However, if all other attempts at helping someone have failed, an intervention may be worth exploring.
What are the limitations of interventions?
While a friend or family member’s intentions are in the right place in wanting to help a loved one through an intervention, there are significant limitations to the approach. The surprising nature of the event can make the person feel ambushed or judged. They may feel embarrassed or ashamed as a result, and relationships may be strained or broken. This can make it difficult for the individual to be receptive to the concerns of their loved ones and the interventionist.
Are there alternatives to interventions?
Rather than confronting a loved one through an intervention, an effective and less pressured approach is to create space for a caring, open, one-on-one conversation. This works best if the loved one asks open-ended questions, listens attentively to the answers, and frames their observations and statements with concern rather than judgment. More than one conversation may be needed, but change can take root over time.
