Big feelings? We've got this. No feelings? No problem. Existential grief? Absolutely. If you are a high achieving, high pressure performer (I'm looking at you, actors, singers, musicians, dancers, academics, performers), and you need someone who understands the pressure put on you throughout your training and career, someone who has lived experience in these industries, let's connect!

Therapy isn’t about fixing you — because you’re not broken. You’re human, and that’s messy enough. Adulting can feel like assembling IKEA furniture without the manual — confusing, frustrating, and somehow missing a crucial piece. Together, we’ll make space to breathe, reflect, and build a life that feels more grounded, more honest, and more like you. No perfection required.

Do you feel like you're stuck in old patterns? Are you always zoning out or in crisis mode? Do you struggle to connect with your body and aren't quite sure what it means to feel your feelings? Would you prefer to work with a queer therapist with experience supporting 2SLGBTQ+ folks and who is committed to integrating social justice into therapeutic work?
