Specialties:

I think about "diagnoses" and "symptoms" as forms of human suffering. The Greek roots for “psychopathology” are: “psych” – soul, “path” – suffering, and “ology” – “the study of.” So really, “psychopathology” is a way of understanding the soul’s suffering.

While I work with many different diagnoses and issues, some of my specialties include:

• Artists/Creatives - visual artists, actors, dancers, musicians, writers, etc. struggling with creative blocks, self-doubt, and more.

• Anxiety / Overwhelm / Stress

• Caretakers and healers such as parents, teachers, doctors, therapists, etc. experiencing burn-out

• Carrying a secret that shames you

• Childhood: processing the past and how it informs the present

• Chronic illness

• Depression

• Effortless perfectionism (the pressure to do everything perfectly, all the time, without ever showing how hard you’re working – like the duck who appears calm on the surface but is paddling maddeningly underneath!)

• Family conflict

• Grief for a loved one who’s passed, a relationship that’s ended, or something else in life that is being mourned

• Life transitions: career switch, starting college or grad school, leaving a relationship, moving somewhere new, entering a new chapter.

• Marital and premarital anxieties

• Relationship struggles

• Self Esteem & body image issues

• Stuckness: in a job, relationship, or other situation

• Trust issues

Even if you don’t identify with anything specific on the above list, I encourage you to reach out and see if I can be of help.
