About Therapy

I just need someone who gets it.

Someone who has the experience, the skillset, the patience, the know-how, or… SOMETHING to help me.

I can’t go on in the same mental loops that literally lead me nowhere. I KNOW there’s more to life than this.

I remember how it always wasn’t this way.

I was happier than this once. I know I was.

I look at pictures of myself, and sometimes I don’t recognize the person staring back at me.

Or, what’s worse, I am caught by a new surge of grief, remembering how things once were.

I’m tired of living stuck in the past.

I want my eyes to glow again.

I want to live unencumbered from the chains of the past and be free from the anxiety that prevents me from creating the next step in my future.

I want to clear the gunk in my life, keeping me from living exuberantly.

I’m ready to do the work…

…and therapy can help me get there.

Therapy is a collaborative container to access the subconscious mind and connect to the central nervous system.

We go as deep as you want, in the direction and on the topic you desire.

Expect trust, respect, and congruence in the therapeutic relationship.

Therapy becomes a seeding ground to learn skills in empathy and genuineness. And the creation of THAT kind of relationship – combined with skills and techniques – propels you toward your goals and dreams.

About Me

Nothing was intentional about it – it was the stress.

I used to gouge holes in my feet until it hurt to walk on them. I clawed my forearms until they bled.

Life felt chaotic and unpredictable. I never wanted to lay claim to it by calling it MY stress. I didn’t want it to know how much power it had over me – how much it had taken over and made my life unmanageable.

But it had. It affected everything: eating, sleeping, laundry, bills… even checking emails. There was a point in my life when I couldn’t read a single line of text without forgetting the beginning of the sentence by the time I got to the end.

Looking back on it, I realize that I’m…

… a recovering people-pleaser
… a co-dependent
… a sexual abuse survivor
… a fallen daughter of the patriarchy
… and I am a cycle-breaker.

I found this process by accident – actually, that’s not quite how it happened.

This process found me; layer upon layer, misstep upon misstep. Thrashing four hours scrunched underneath a bed but being too scared to come out and simultaneously feeling suffocated by its perceivable weight.

The crutches and switch at pregnancy brought me belly down and blocked out whole chunks of the next few years.

The phone call that disconnected my brain, causing a series of bizarre events that eventually ended my first marriage.

Each psychotic break brought its gifts.

No textbook or hard-nosed client in my practice could have prepared me for what it’s like when you truly surrender yourself to the work.

It’s a new birth.

A doula of a new era.

So… what made me want to become a therapist?

I could study nothing else. When you are steeped in an environment laden with mental illness, there is nothing else.

I’m here to break generational cycles of pain and abuse.

And that starts with working with you.

When I’m not doing therapy…

I’m dancing, playing the piano, and writing. I’m creating life-size collages of inspiring pictures to create (and re-create) my life.

I’m mastering headstands or backbends. I’m cooking pureed soups, nutritional smoothies, or simple stir-fry so that my body with be happier to digest food.

I’m learning to slow down, sleep more, and emulate the elegance of my muse of a cat.

I’m learning from a beautiful ball of pure Light I get to call my daughter.

I’m habit stacking. I’m daydreaming about the training possibilities that fill my heart.

I’m revisiting French and falling in love all over again. I’m singing chants to center my mind.

And daily, a thousand times a day, when life is failing all around me, I’m in prayer. (As that’s all there is, anyway).

You’re ready… and I’m here for you!

I’m here for you. I’m here for you. I’m here for you. Can you feel that? Someone on this earth gets it and is ready to help you.
