Many of the people I work with think deeply, feel deeply, and experience the world with a level of complexity that can be difficult to explain to others. They may have spent years feeling out of place, adapting to expectations that never quite fit, or holding themselves to rules they never agreed to. The clients I work best with are deeply curious people who want to understand themselves and the patterns that have shaped their lives. Many are neurodivergent, queer, gifted/formerly gifted, highly creative, or people with complex histories who have spent years feeling unseen or disconnected from themselves.
You may come to therapy burned out, anxious, recovering from trauma, struggling with overthinking or perfectionism, or sensing that the life you're living doesn't quite fit who you are. Together, we explore the experiences that shaped you, the ways you learned to navigate the world, and what it means to create a life that feels more like your own.
Therapy with me is intentional and deep. It has direction. You don't have to keep trying to make sense of everything by yourself.
