As an LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist, I understand how anxiety and low self esteem can be unrelenting companions, whispering worst-case scenarios and drowning out the voice of reason.

Chronic disconnect in brain-body-psyche networks cause abnormal wear 'n' tear resulting in premature aging, illness and reduced quality of life. Common warning signs include pain, anxiety and profound melancholy.  Lifestyle imbalances morph into sleep disorders and addictions. Loneliness quickly oscillates to overstimulation and overwhelm leaving many trapped in the depths of isolation.  Perfectionism and procrastination thwart our best laid plans leading to learned helplessness. Human suffering is immensely burdensome, but the weight of the world is not ours to carry alone.

If you are experiencing a rough patch in your life where the difficulties seem relentless and insurmountable, know that you are not alone. Life is problematic. We all get caught in a stress loop at some point in our lives. We want to feel less stressed and more alive but most of us aren’t taught how to digest our stressful emotions properly and end up stuck on the hamster wheel. Being in a relaxed and energized mind and body is the experience of self-regulation. As an experienced counselor and teacher, I teach self-management skills to help you learn how to self-regulate in the here and now.

Do you often find yourself agreeing to things you don’t like or don't want to do? Have you had enough of being overly accommodating in order to please others at the cost of your own wellbeing, without much of a return? Isn't it time to break this endless cycle and stop pleasing everyone but yourself? I’m here to help. As your psychologist, I’ll provide you with a safe judgment-free space to be vulnerable, where we can discuss your situation and examine your habits that are making it hard for you to stop pleasing others. During our sessions, you can feel heard and empowered to start living your life for yourself, and not others.
