Whether you are seeking relief from anxiety, depression, grief, loss, or striving for emotional regulation and self-concept, we can work together to create growth and transformation. I work with folks who live, love, and think outside the box. My clients often face challenges related to identity and belonging. They may feel misunderstood or marginalized due to their queer, creative, or unconventional lifestyles. Many are grappling with anxiety and stress stemming from a chaotic climate future and uncertain political landscape. They might also experience a sense of existential uncertainty, questioning meaning and purpose in life.
Are you struggling with burnout? Isolation? I see clients in the context of their environment and consider how larger social, political, and economic forces influence their development. With compassion and integrity at the core of my practice, I honor the unique path of everyone I work with, creating a safe place to enhance healing and overall well-being.
I can be direct with feedback, but always maintain rigorous curiosity about your insights, wisdom, and experience. I am super collaborative even if we need to take a deep dive into clinical diagnostics. You can book an appointment with me today by clicking on my website!
