Grief

Grief is often understood as something that follows death, but in reality it shows up far more quietly and in far more places. We grieve versions of ourselves we no longer recognize, the futures we imagined that didn’t unfold, and relationships that have shifted in ways we didn’t expect. We can grieve our bodies when they change, our sense of certainty when life feels unpredictable, and even milestones that arrived differently than we hoped or didn’t arrive at all. We grieve the overwhelming state of the world and the overall health of the planet. Sometimes we’re grieving without realizing it, carrying a sense of loss that hasn’t been named. In our work together, we can make space for these experiences so they can be seen, understood, and integrated so you don’t have to hold them alone or without language anymore. This unfelt and unnamed grief can cause depression or a feeling of lacking vitality or creative energy.

Anxiety: ADHD, OCD, Social Anxiety, Executive Functioning

Do you have a hard time managing your schedule, balancing all of life’s responsibilities, accomplishing tasks, time management, making that phone call, following up in that health portal, constant restlessness? 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 may keep you in a cyclical trap of inaction and/or not feeling in control of your life.

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 holds an enchanting power in its capacity to transcend limiting norms and resist the harms of conformity. 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. You can work to release old financial imprints and step into a fuller, more expansive and integrated sense of your financial self. Together, we can build a structured view of your spending (yes, a spreadsheet) that supports informed decisions, helping you have more peace of mind to feel secure and empowered- replacing the uncertainty with clarity.
