Therapy & Coaching

I merge therapy and coaching to help you as a whole person.

Effective therapy & coaching involves the mind and body – the experiential and the cognitive – and focuses on the past, present, and future.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with deep experience as an entrepreneur. My style blends candor with warmth, insight with empathy, and humor with compassion. I enjoy quick-witted conversations, existential ponderings, and geeking out over just about anything.

My practice affirms non-binary and LGBTQ+ people and the profound impacts of intergenerational racial trauma.

My Focus

Specialty Areas

In addition to working with people on a wide range of emotional and behavioral concerns, I specialize in:

  1. Entrepreneurs.
  2. Creative professionals.
  3. Gifted & highly sensitive people of all ages.

However, while these people groups are of special interest to me, you do not need to fall within these categories to work with me. Please do not hesitate to email me if you need help and are wondering if we would be a good fit.

I see people who are experiencing:

  • Burnout.
  • Entrepreneurial overwhelm.
  • Anxiety.
  • Feeling off but you're not sure why.
  • Grief.
  • Job loss.
  • Mood swings, depression, and sadness.
  • Feeling overwhelmed.
  • Being highly sensitive.
  • Having sensory processing issues.
  • Not feeling like you fit in.
  • Recovering from bullying or intense experiences.
  • Healing from childhood trauma.
  • Existential questions such as, "Why am I here?"
  • Wanting to change but not sure how.

In clinical terms, the above often translates to:

  • Anxiety
  • Trauma
  • Giftedness –>
  • Neurodivergence
  • Twice-exceptional
  • Autism
  • Depression
  • Existential concerns
  • Emotional regulation

My Approach

I believe that effective therapy involves the mind and body – the experiential and the cognitive – and focuses on the past, present, and future.

My style blends candor with warmth, insight with empathy, and humor with compassion. I enjoy quick-witted conversations, existential ponderings, and geeking out over just about anything.

Strengths-Based

We all have strengths, and therapy too often only focuses on problems. I help you identify and leverage your strengths to bring lasting change into your daily life.

Gestalt

This focuses on the physical experience and helps those of us who are stuck in our heads get out of our heads. Very helpful for people who often try to outthink their problems.

Internal Family Systems

‍Think "Inside Out" the movie. I use the concept of us having parts-that-make-a-whole to rework old patterns and learn to better integrate your full experience.

Narrative Therapy

‍This is a form of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with a creative overlay. It's considered "evidence-based" which means there is significant research supporting its effectiveness.
