Grief

Not just grief from loss, but grief we don’t necessarily think of as grief such as grief from the past, grief regarding the overwhelming state of the world and overall health of the planet, grief due to change and life transitions, or grief from feeling a lack of vitality or creative energy.

Anxiety: ADHD, OCD, Social Anxiety

Do you have a hard time managing your schedule, balancing all of life’s responsibilities, accomplishing tasks, time management, making that phone call? Restlessness? Executive function? And then feel existential about it? We can work on this. Our electronic world has moved us far away from a more baseline simplicity. We will work to recognize the relationship between your anxiety and your avoidance which keeps you in a cyclical trap of inaction.

Trauma: Intergenerational, Complex, Developmental

Trauma can be passed down for 7 generations. It can be stored in the body as pain or illness, experiencing a “block,” “a void,” dissociation, or an unknown force that seems larger than you. As we begin to move through your own personal therapy work, you may find yourself doing the unhealed work of your great-grandparent, your mother, father, or feeling the grief they never felt. If CPTSD or Borderline Personality Disorder is something that describes you or resonates with you, I work with these presentations in a proactive, thoughtful, and non-pathologizing way.

Queer, LGBTQ, Transgender 

The queer and trans community continues to enchant me with its capacity to transcend limiting norms and resist the harms of conformity. We are needed now more than ever. If you are gender expansive in any way or questioning your gender or sexuality, I work delicately and thoughtfully to hold the undeniable complexity, pain, and sense of liberation that is present within this process.

Masculinity and Men’s Issues

For men who are sensitive and need a space to explore and deepen their sensitivity. For men who are increasingly trying to break patterns of masculinity that limit their growth and potential in order to allow more honest parts of themselves to emerge. These patterns can include repressing and rejecting valuable feelings, hyper-independence, anger management, competitiveness, control, etc. You can be someone new and more whole by developing a healthier expression of your masculinity.

Relationship Issues

Relationships can bring out the best in us and the messiest parts, too. I help clients navigate relationship challenges with honesty, insight, accountability, and compassion. Whether you’re dealing with communication struggles, conflict, trust issues, attachment wounds, dating frustrations, boundary-setting, or repeating the same painful patterns in relationships. We’ll explore what keeps getting in the way, build healthier ways of relating, and help you create relationships that feel more secure and connected while honoring who you are and what you need.

Help with Finances

This is a topic rarely discussed openly that many of us do not contend with in a conscious way. Money is an exchange of energy and the messages we receive in the past and present around managing finances, spending money, saving money, having money, not having enough money, earning money, and power dynamics around money are deeply internalized. I will work with you to identify goals around how you can feel more conscious, organized, confident, and liberated by tending to this aspect of life rather than avoiding it.
