About
If you're exhausted from trying to hold it all together, you're not alone. You don't need to have all the right words for it, a clear "diagnosis", or a plan. My clients are often thoughtful people who feel seen but not truly known - by others or themselves. Many are creatives, writers, performers or individuals in non-traditional partnerships who experience perfectionism, self-monitoring, "good girlism", or a split between public and private selves. As a former tv writer, I get how stories can help or harm. Stories shape our realities, not the other way around. My approach is caring and non-pathologizing, with the basic belief that you're the expert of your own life. I support you knowing deeply what you most want and why. Therapy with me is less about fixing and more about opening up space for clarity, agency, and rich, full, values-aligned living.
