My Approach to Therapy

Using humor and creativity to help you get your emotions (and your life) back under control. Youve gone from being the rock everyone leans on to someone who flips a switch without warning. People are starting to walk on eggshells around you because they don't know which version of you they're going to get. It feels like those old weights you thought youd dropped are actually just trailing behind you. Youre using the screens, drinks, and weed to keep your head above water, but its only a temporary fix. Deep down you know youre just pausing the pain instead of actually healing it. Its clear youre carrying too much, and its spilling out. Lets work on some strategies to manage those daily outbursts first so you can catch your breath. Then, well dig into the why behind it all. I'm here to help you heal those old wounds so you can feel proud of how you show up for your partner and your kids again. Traditional talk therapy isnt the only way to get things done, and if its not clicking for you, well pivot. Im a big believer in using creative tools to get under the surface. That might mean I draw something to help visualize what you're feeling, or you might find yourself reconnecting with your past through some simple art. It might feel a little unconventional, but its a safe space. Ill be right there with you, and we wont go deeper than you're comfortable going. A lot of the people I work with find that turning an abstract feeling into a visual metaphor is exactly what they needed to see the full picture. Its often the key to finding whats been hidden in the noise. If youre ready to see things from a new angle, we can start whenever youre comfortable. I offer a free 15-minute introductory call. No pressure, just a chance for us to chat about whats going on with you and see if this feels like the right fit.

On the Fence About Going to Therapy?

You know you're ready for therapy when... - You've got a crap ton going on. - You've lost something: a person, a relationship, your hold on reality. - You're so sleep deprived, the bags under your eyes have their own zip code. - You can't seem to focus. - You're sleeping a lot more or a lot less. - You go off on the barista for spelling your name wrong. - Your dog won?t leave your side, but your cat is avoiding you. - You're ready to make a change. - You've realized that getting your life back is worth paying for even if you don't get Kroger fuel points on the purchase. - You spend 4 hours analyzing the exact tone of a three-word text message, eventually concluding it's a commentary on your childhood, when she was actually just tired. - You've become so good at the silent treatment that you've developed a sophisticated language of aggressive blinking and pointed sighs to communicate whose turn it is to take out the trash. - You've colored every single mandala in your adult coloring book, but instead of feeling zen, you're now spiraling because you used Sunset Orange instead of Muted Marigold on a petal. - You'd like to have someone on your side that not only gets you, but can actually help you fix things.
