Wondering if you'll ever feel different than you do right now? I hear you. You feel stuck. For so much of your life, others have told you who and how to be. You try desperately to keep up with appearances but you feel like the token person in most spaces. While they describe you as hardworking, passionate, and driven, YOU see what's under the mask: you're overbooked, distracted, burnt-out. You want to truly connect with yourself, to understand what's important to you, and to feel really seen by people you care about. You want more out of your life; instead of a fog, you'd like to wake up in the morning with a sense of clarity.
Together we can get curious about the internalized messages you have been taught and still carry. My goal is to support you in embracing what you've been told to hide away and in finally getting UNSTUCK. We work on developing a rhythm to our sessions blending artmaking and talking/reflection (insight-oriented therapy) at a pace and balance that fits you.
Many of us who live at the intersections tend to run on overdrive trying to prove we belong. I want to help you look at the systems in your life, retrace boundaries, explore and care for the different parts of yourself; to create YOUR unique version of a life well-lived. It's okay not to know. Together, we'll work to lift the veil and step forward.
