My Approach to Therapy
Life - you soak it all in, every drop. (And you still feel empty.) Beauty - you live for it. (But it’s been hiding recently.)
Empathy - you have more than enough of it. (And pain, other people’s mainly - you can’t seem to shake it.)
If you could just keep everyone happy, that would solve it. (But it doesn’t.)
This depleted, guilty, carrying the weight of the world thing isn’t working. There has to be a way to pay attention to yourself that isn’t selfish. (There is.)
Joy is somewhere inside, although it feels out of reach. Let’s look for it together.
My Practice & Services
The most important predictor of success in therapy is feeling comfortable with your therapist. I provide a free consultation call for all potential clients. Send me a message here or through my website to schedule it.
Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With
Depression - The defeat, isolation, fogginess - these are all telling you something. We are here to listen deeply, attentively, with gentle curiosity.
Women's issues - Systemic privilege is real. And so is your power. It takes work to heal from the myriad of ways that sexism harms us, so that we can lean into our fierce potential.
Highly Sensitive Person - You're reflective, empathic, and intuitive. (And, spoiler: terribly depleted.) Our work together builds on these strengths while staying focused on rejuvenation.
Anxiety - Your inner critic is overactive, decisions feel excruciating, and guilt is around every corner. The questions, "Did I do it right? Have I done enough?" are ones you are far too familiar with. We will pay attention to bringing your sense of control back.
