All your thoughts are welcome
(with support to help feel like they’re getting you somewhere)
I like being able to talk deeply about whatever. I'm never gonna meet someone and say, well, that's illogical, or you're thinking about this too much, because I understand and that's just how we process things.
I think a lot of people who are called too self-aware, it's partially just their nature to be deep thinkers and they're just considerate people who really care about everything.
I'm neurodivergent as well, and I feel like I can just understand that experience. I have always been a strange person in a lot of different ways, and only now do I say that with a little bit of pride.
People who march to the beat of their own drum.
- Often neurodivergent. Often late-diagnosed.
- Often queer, trans, and nonbinary folks.
- Creatives, deep thinkers, and overthinkers.
- Adults, teens, and pre-teens 10 and up.
- People navigating chronic health, trauma, burnout, and all the intersections seen and unseen.
You don't owe anyone a specific version of yourself. You deserve to own and experience all that you are under any circumstances,
and you deserve to have a voice.
You did not deserve what you went through and there's nothing innately wrong with you that made you deserve any of the treatment you received.
You are worth the work it may take, and the love you will have to give yourself to heal.
I'm already super self-aware and insightful but it hasn't changed how I feel or what I need in my life.
Just because you have everything together on the outside or have a lot of insight into your struggles doesn't make your pain or past experiences less impactful. Being good at masking or having to develop self-awareness at a young age doesn't mean you don't deserve a chance at healing.
Do I have to rehash and re-tell my whole past? What if I'm more focused on the now and the future, and what I want.
You never have to disclose things you don't want to unless you feel ready to or you think it would be helpful. A lot of the modalities I use, especially expressive arts, sandtray, and brainspotting, allow for a different approach than just verbal processing. I don't want you to come to sessions feeling scared of what you will have to disclose or talk about, and you won't be pressured in any certain direction past, present, or future.
What if I have stuff that's embarrassing about how I'm acting or feeling right now - someone told me therapy doesn't work if you're not 100% honest about everything.
1) I expect to earn any trust that leads you to share even the most mundane thing. Therapy isn't healing if it's coercive, and having to force yourself to say things is no less coercive than being pushed. I'm here to help you heal your relationship with any parts of yourself that you fear.
2) I hear you saying that that behavior is not who you are, and I'm inclined to believe you - you're the expert on you. It sounds like who you really are, the part of you that genuinely wants to connect better with yourself and the people you love, is still there and communicating, and refuses to disappear. And I'm honored to get to support you in whatever it is you need out of this process.
Your choice, every step of the way.

Expressive Arts & Sandtray
Great for overthinkers who've already thought through their issues in many different ways. Creativity and tactile work can be a way to process or explore things with less pressure.
Narrative Therapy
All of us live in the context of our culture, subcultures, and family, and messages about our meaning and value can feel like they define us. You, the person, are not the problem. The problem is the problem.
Play Therapy
I apply my training in child-centered play therapy to my work with folks of all ages. For teens and adults, it often shifts focus to one's inner child, not only what they needed and what they got as a child, but what they might need now for healing and growth.
Parts Work / IFS
I try to look out for areas where that inner child, and other parts, like the exiled parts of you and your true self, come out, and explore what they need.
Brainspotting
A mind-body based trauma therapy that invites you to speak as much or little as you want, and helps reprocess trauma from the inside out in a way that makes you say, “Oh, I should have gotten really upset with her and had my day ruined by what she said but instead I just wondered what’s up with her bad mood today.”
We have over 200 plants here but my favorite is the String of Hearts (Ceropegia woodii). I like how dainty it is, how rubbery the leaves are with their intricate patterns, and the way all the strands hang together.
I am enamored with it. Even when the leaves are a little brown on one strand, it is so intricate and beautiful.
