I work from a non-pathologizing framework, which simply means I don’t believe there is something wrong with you. Many mental health issues stem from a dysregulated nervous system. This happens as a response to stress, shock, and trauma, not because there is something inherently wrong with the person, or with the mind.

Almost all maladaptive behaviors were helpful at some point in time, and you’re looking for therapy because they don’t serve you anymore.

My approach to psychotherapy is simple: there is a reason for your distress. Pain, whether physical or mental, is a message. Together we can decode these messages to find the root cause.

Highly sensitive and creative people often feel out of sync with the others. It can be challenging to find your own way in a world that celebrates conformity. My goal is to help you deconstruct any conditioning that has you questioning your value. You deserve to celebrate your unique authentic self!

This work extends to parents as they navigate raising sensitive children. These wisdom keepers often feel overwhelmed with balancing their own family of origin traumas with present day stressors. I welcome parents who choose alternatives to educational and medical norms.
