(We'll probably be a great match if one or more of the following describes you:
Oh man, do I get it! The good news is that I also know -- from both professional and personal experience -- just how much counseling can help. With therapy, you can learn how to better calm your destructive inner voices, how to choose your own adventure instead of being reactive, how to communicate effectively, how to soothe your insecurities, and how to find the bright side in just about any situation.
Counseling with me is a little different from the stereotypical "tell me about your mother" stuff (although yes, we'll be talking about your mother, too). My approach is directive, experiential, research-validated, mindfulness-based, accepting, and infused with humor -- and I intend to help you see real results. If you're weary of sitting across from therapists who seem to only nod and smile at you while making sympathetic noises, you've come to the right place.
I've been a therapist since 2013. I'm also queer, neurodivergent, kink-aware and poly-friendly, fat positive, attachment focused, and ready to offer you a mega dose of empathy and compassion. Also -- bonus! -- you'll leave sessions having gained useable skills that can be immediately applied to real life. Get in touch, and we'll talk about where you are and where you'd like to go.
Specialty areas: fat acceptance, health at every size (HAES), relationship issues, LGBTQIA+ concerns, depression, anxiety, compulsive behavior, self-harm, struggles with self worth, ADHD, motivation, body image, food obsession, eating disorders, love addiction, codependency, emotional regulation, coping skills. Some of my favorite therapy approaches/schools of thought: Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Bibliotherapy, Narrative Therapy, and Internal Family Systems.
- "My food issues are out of control."
- "Hating my body is getting in the way of enjoying my life."
- "Our relationship is great 98% of the time, but the 2% that's bad? Is really bad."
- "I experiment with different personas and appearances, but I'm not sure which is the 'real' me."
- "I'm scared my insecurity and reactivity is going to ruin yet another relationship."
- "My life is like Groundhog Day -- no matter what, the same problems and situations over and over and over and over..."
- "The mean voice inside my head just won't. shut. UP."
- "I cut or hurt myself when I feel overwhelmed."
- "I've secretly felt a little different from everyone most of my life."
- "I've experienced professional/academic/artistic success, but I just can't get my personal life together."
- "If people REALLY knew what I was like (or if I did what I REALLY want to do with my life), things might fall apart."
- "I have no idea whether or not I want to stay in my relationship and continue working on it, or cut and run."
