Who I Work With
Many of the people who find their way to me are perceptive and introspective, already doing more inner work than anyone around them realizes. Some arrive because something has cracked open: a breakup, burnout, a psychedelic or spiritual experience, a life that's stopped working the way it used to. Others aren't in any kind of crisis at all; they're simply ready to look closer, understand themselves more fully, and live with more intention. And some have already done a lot of this work through therapy, reading, journaling, and reflecting, and still find themselves repeating patterns they can name but haven't been able to shift. I work especially well with people who are curious about themselves and genuinely interested in growth and looking beneath the surface. The categories below aren't separate boxes. Most people I work with recognize themselves in more than one.
Life Transitions & Personal Growth
Sometimes transition arrives because something happened: a breakup, a loss, a move, or a change you didn't choose. Other times, nothing dramatic happens at all. You just notice that a version of yourself that once felt true doesn't quite fit anymore. Maybe it's a role you've held, a relationship, the way you've understood yourself, or simply the way you've been moving through the world.
And transition isn't always unwelcome. Sometimes it's something you've wanted or worked toward for a long time, and you still find yourself needing support as you adjust to everything that comes with it. When change comes unexpectedly, there can also be value in simply having somewhere to land while you stabilize, make sense of what's happened, and begin to find your footing again.
This isn't only about getting through a hard season. It's also about the ongoing work of growing into who you're becoming, especially when that growth starts to outpace the identity you built to get here. You might look successful from the outside and still feel unsettled. You might be doing fine and still sense there's more depth available to you. Whatever brought you to this point, whether crisis or curiosity, there's room to slow down, listen more closely, and explore what actually fits now.
Anxiety, Overwhelm, & Burnout
Anxiety, overwhelm, and burnout have become incredibly common ways of moving through the world. We live in a culture that often asks us to move faster, take in more, stay available, and keep going, even when our bodies and nervous systems are asking for something different. It can take real intention to step out of that current rather than simply learning to function within it.
Burnout doesn't always look like falling apart. Sometimes it looks like a life that's technically working, a job, a relationship, a routine, that's quietly costing you your energy, your presence, and your sense of yourself. You might find your mind running through the same loops even when you know the overthinking isn't helping, or feel exhausted in a way that rest doesn't fully touch. You can be capable, functioning, and keeping everything together while still feeling stretched thin or disconnected underneath it all.
If you're tired of pushing through days that feel too full, or you've forgotten how to slow down even when you want to, this can be a place to exhale, take stock, and begin noticing what actually needs to change, and what doesn't.
Highly Sensitive & Neurodivergent Adults
You've likely heard, more than once, that you're too sensitive, too much, too in your head, or too easily overwhelmed by things other people don't seem to notice. Sound, light, other people's emotions, the state of the world, it can all land more intensely for you and take longer to move through.
You might already have language for this, HSP, neurodivergent, or some other framework you've found, or you might simply know that you experience life differently than many of the people around you without ever quite finding the right words for it.
Either way, that sensitivity isn't the problem. It's often the same capacity that allows you to notice what others miss, experience deeply, and pick up on subtleties in yourself, other people, and your environment. Our work isn't about dulling that down so you can cope better. It's about understanding and honoring how you're wired while finding ways to move through the world that don't require you to continually override yourself.
Self-Worth, Identity, & Relationships
It can be surprisingly easy to lose touch with your sense of self-worth, your identity, and ultimately, yourself. Sometimes that happens slowly. You adapt to relationships, expectations, family dynamics, or the roles you've learned to play, and somewhere along the way, you look back and realize how far you've drifted from your own sense of who you are. There may be parts of yourself you barely recognize anymore, while other parts have become so practiced at adapting, protecting, or keeping things together that it's hard to know what you actually need, want, or feel.
Self-worth isn't something you have to earn by being easy to love, useful, accomplished, agreeable, or anything else. Part of this work can be recognizing the places where you've learned otherwise and developing a deeper relationship with your own inherent value.
Together, we might explore the patterns that have shaped how you relate to yourself and others, including the ways you've learned to adapt or abandon parts of yourself to maintain connection, fulfill expectations, succeed, or keep life moving. This can include getting clearer about your needs and desires, developing and holding boundaries, trusting your own perceptions, and reclaiming your voice. The goal isn't to become someone new, but to come into fuller relationship with who you already are.
Depression, Disconnection, & Feeling Stuck
Depression doesn't always look like sadness. Sometimes it feels more like disconnection, from yourself, from other people, or from the parts of life that used to feel meaningful. You might feel flat, unmotivated, exhausted, or simply like you're going through the motions. Things you know you care about can feel strangely far away, and even small tasks can require more energy than they seem like they should.
Other times, the experience is harder to name. You may not think of yourself as depressed at all, but you know that something feels stuck. Maybe you've lost some of your curiosity, momentum, or sense of possibility. Maybe you understand why you feel the way you do but haven't been able to think your way out of it.
Therapy can offer a place to get curious about what's underneath the heaviness or disconnection without treating it as something you simply need to push through. Sometimes the parts of us that seem shut down, withdrawn, or resistant to change have good reasons for being there. Rather than trying to force those parts out of the way, we can get curious about what they may be protecting or asking for. Together, we can begin reconnecting with parts of yourself that have become harder to access and creating movement where things have felt stuck.
Spiritual, Existential, & Meaning-Making Exploration
There are times when we begin questioning what gives our lives meaning, what feels true for us, what we're connected to, and how we want to live. These questions can emerge through transition, growth, loss, medicine or ceremonial experiences, or simply through becoming more curious about ourselves and the lives we're creating. They aren't necessarily problems to solve, but questions that can be meaningful to spend time with.
I don't come to this work assuming you share any particular belief system, and I won't hand you mine. Whether your framework is spiritual, secular, rooted in nature, still forming, or genuinely unsure, there's room here for exploration. We can make space for the questions themselves, for uncertainty, and for whatever meaning begins to emerge through your own inquiry and experience.
Psychedelic Preparation & Integration
Psychedelic and plant medicine experiences can open a tremendous amount, sometimes in ways that feel clear and meaningful, and sometimes in ways that are confusing, challenging, or difficult to put into words. You may be preparing for an upcoming experience, trying to understand something that has already happened, or noticing that an experience continues to unfold long after the medicine itself has passed.
Preparation can offer space to clarify your intentions, connect with your inner resources, and consider what support you may need before and after an experience. Integration creates room to unpack what emerged, explore its meaning without rushing to define it, and consider how what you've experienced might inform the way you move through your everyday life.
I don't see my role as telling you what your experience meant. I'm here to support you in listening more deeply to your own experience, making room for all that may have surfaced, and discovering what feels meaningful to carry forward.

You Don’y Have To Know Where To Begin
You may recognize yourself in one of these areas, several of them, or in something that isn't named here at all. What brings you to therapy is often only one part of what unfolds once we begin paying closer attention.
Underneath the anxiety, transition, disconnection, relationship patterns, or desire for change, there may be a deeper longing to understand yourself, trust yourself, and feel more connected to the way you want to live. Our work can make room for greater self-compassion and curiosity, a deeper awareness of the different parts of you, and more trust in your own needs, values, and inner knowing.
You don't need to arrive knowing exactly what you want to work on or where to begin. We can start with what's here.
