You look like you have it together. You’re the reliable one. The capable one. The one everyone leans on. And you’re exhausted. At Riot & Rest, we work with high-functioning adults who are done living in survival mode, often navigating perfectionism, chronic over-responsibility, minority stress, or the lasting impact of relational trauma. Many of our clients are queer, from marginalized or culturally complex backgrounds, or have spent years adapting to spaces where they weren’t fully seen.
Here, we don't just offer surface-level coping. This is deep, collaborative, structured therapy designed for real, sustainable change. We’ll help you: stop just existing and start living, rebuild an identity that actually feels like yours, set boundaries without guilt, and feel less alone inside your own life.
All sessions are 100% virtual, with flexible scheduling that fits your real life — not the other way around. You can reach out however feels easiest: phone, email, or text. Rest is radical. Let’s make space for yours. We’d be honored to work with you.

I use CBT, DBT, and self-compassion training in an integrative approach. We start by understanding your nervous system so your patterns actually make sense, not just feel overwhelming. From there, we work on interrupting unhelpful cycles and building practical skills for regulation and self-trust. The goal is real, sustainable change, not just insight.
