* * My clients are the insightful, sensitive, and deep-thinking ones. They have read the books, they can name their defenses, and somehow the same stuff keeps happening anyway. Usually there is old shame under it, or family history, or rules they picked up as kids before they knew anything else. Insight alone does not fix that. Slower, deeper work does, and honestly it is my favorite work to do. I am queer affirming and secular myself, and I have clients who are religious, spiritual, and neither. Everyone gets the same welcome. If therapy has felt too shallow or too slow for the way your mind works, call me. We will probably get along.

If you grew up being told who you were allowed to be, especially in a church pew, you already know how long that voice can follow you. It can get quieter. I have watched it happen. Reaching out is usually the hardest step, and you only have to take it once. When you are ready, I would be glad to meet who you actually are. Show me your colors brave person.

We are the sum of every age we have ever been, and some of those younger selves are still running the show. My specialty is finding them. I work with shame, family of origin wounds, and patterns that outlived their causes. I pay close attention to the body, because it holds every story. Let’s write some new ones. Deep work that actually holds. Call me.
