I’m Here for the Complexities of Being Human

Life brings its share of struggles, pain, and imperfections, and it’s my honor to work with those navigating these challenges. I frequently work with clients experiencing:

• Shame

• Self-Worth

• Self-Doubt

• Neurodiversity

• Perfectionism

• Relationships

• People-Pleasing

• Loneliness

• Grief & Loss

• Life Transitions

• Identity

• Feeling Stuck

• Highly Sensitive People (HSP)

Trauma-Responsive Care

Trauma can deeply impact our experiences, emotions, and relationships. Trauma is often defined as an experience that overwhelms our ability to cope, causing lasting emotional, psychological, or physical distress. It can result from direct events like abuse, violence, or accidents, as well as from more subtle forms of harm—such as emotional neglect, or being shamed for who you are, who you love, your beliefs, or your identity.

Trauma is a deeply personal experience, and you don’t have to carry it alone. I offer trauma-responsive care to help you process and move forward, and I’d be honored to work with you.

Boundaries and Relationships

If you’re struggling with boundaries in relationships, you’re not alone. Perhaps you find it hard to know what you need, feel, or want. You might have difficulty standing up for yourself, find yourself giving more than you receive, or feel pressure to do more to be loved. Maybe you want to say “no” but feel compelled to say “yes,” or suppress your thoughts and feelings for fear of others' reactions. If this sounds familiar, or if you’re navigating other relationship challenges, I’m here to help explore with you.

Perfectionism and Imposter Syndrome

Many of my clients identify with perfectionism or imposter syndrome. Maybe you set incredibly high standards for yourself, feel compelled to overwork, or worry that others will “find you out.” These coping strategies might create a temporary sense of worth or control, but they often lead to self-criticism, exhaustion, and frustration. Together, we can explore what it would be like to feel okay without needing to work so hard to “earn” it.

Navigating Life Transitions

Life transitions can be difficult, stirring up past issues and future fears. Even when changes are welcome, adjusting to new circumstances can feel uncomfortable, especially if they don’t align with our expectations. Here are some common transitions I help clients navigate:

• Breakup, separation, or divorce

• Career changes or retirement

• Graduation

• Moving or relocating

• Financial shifts

• New relationships or family dynamics

• Pregnancy and birth

• Exploring sexuality or gender

• Loss of a loved one or pet

• Adjusting to changes in the world

• Empty nest

• Changes in health

• Aging and caregiving

Working with Emotions

Living with our feelings and bodies can be challenging, but I believe there are no “bad” feelings. Just because some feelings are uncomfortable doesn’t mean they don’t matter. If you’re struggling with anxiety, panic, or depression, it’s important to reach out. Together, we’ll explore root causes and work toward what you need to feel better.

If you don’t see your specific situation listed here but feel curious about working together, please reach out. I’ve likely worked with others who share some of your experiences, and I’m here to explore with you.
