My ideal client is an individual navigating the profound, and often overwhelming, transitions of the perinatal period—including pregnancy, postpartum, pregnancy loss, or the complex journey of trying to conceive. You might find yourself struggling with severe anxiety, intrusive worries, or a deep sadness that leaves you feeling isolated, guilty, or disconnected from yourself and those you love.

My jam is working with people who, because of complex trauma and emotional wounds, don't feel real or complete all the time. They're trying their best but can't seem to figure things out. Or, they check all the boxes, work harder than everyone around them, and still feel hollow.
I work with those who feel chronic emptiness, disconnect from others and self, incomplete in their identity, and burned out from extended overfunctioning. I use a combination of neurobiological engineering and sorcery (just kidding on the sorcery bit). If you need that, my contact information is available.

You lived in a narcissistic relationship for far too long. You’re doing your best not to fixate on all that you were told you did wrong – all the times you were berated, laughed at, and put down in front of friends and family. Your phone sits face-down. Picking it up means another argument to no where. Putting it down means another hour of questioning if you were the problem all along. You swing from defiant independence to insecure co-dependence. You used to know what you liked. Now you can't remember if you actually liked any of it, or just learned to. Facing an uncertain future is terrifying and paralyzing.

You’re overwhelmed, and the chaos and stress make you question “can life really get any better?” Heartbreak has brought hard feelings you don’t know what to do with.

I wholeheartedly believe in the resilience of the human spirit and that each of us are imbued with the desire to achieve, to connect and have peace. Change is usually associated with stress and we are not fond of it; we find comfort in our routine even when that routine is allowing us to feel overwhelmed, underappreciated and at its worst, neglected or abused. Change is what inspires and produces growth. Without growth, we whither and shrink away becoming someone whom we barely recognize. We are life forces and energy that need growth in order to realize our fullest potential

It's a gift to get to support folks through big life changes & challenging times, whether it's deconstructing from a high-control religion, coming out (even to oneself) as queer or trans, exploring new relationship structures like ethical non-monogamy / polyamory, and/or starting to understand oneself through the lens of neurodiversity. I also enjoy helping folks identify new coping skills to reduce reliance on self-injury or disordered eating.

Many issues bring people to psychotherapy. Perhaps something feels off in your life—dissatisfactory; painful. Maybe there has been a loss, or a reckoning. You might be rebuilding, or dreaming of possibilities, or barely keeping your head above water. Perhaps, like many, you are contending with grief. My work is with adults from all backgrounds. Often, the individuals I support are navigating several areas of focus, including but not limited to: chronic pain and illness, dissociation and dissociative identities, complex trauma, histories of abuse, relationship challenges, searches for meaning, and family of origin concerns.

FAQ - Teenage and Adolescent Therapists
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.
How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.
How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.
How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
