Licensed Mental Health Counselor
Something isn’t working, even if you look fine on the outside.
Maybe you’re functioning, productive, and capable, but inside you feel anxious, tense, shut down, or overwhelmed.
Maybe you’ve done therapy before. Maybe you understand yourself well. Maybe you’ve tried logic, insight, and willpower and your body still won’t settle.
This page is here to help you figure out what kind of support actually fits, without pressure or guesswork.

WHO THIS WORK IS FOR
This work tends to be a good fit if:
-
You feel wired or on edge, even when life looks “okay”
-
You experience burnout, overdrive, or emotional shutdown
-
You overthink, self-monitor, or feel stuck in patterns you can’t logic your way out of
-
You want therapy that works at the level of the nervous system, not just the mind
You don’t need a diagnosis.
You don’t need to have the right words yet.
WHO THIS WORK IS NOT FOR
This may not be the right fit if:
-
You’re looking for quick fixes or surface-level coping tools
-
You want purely skills-based or worksheet-driven therapy
-
You’re not interested in exploring how your body, stress response, and nervous system shape your experience
-
You want someone to tell you exactly what to do rather than help you build awareness and capacity
This work is thoughtful, collaborative, and embodied.
It’s not passive, but it’s also not overwhelming.
HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT WAY TO WORK TOGETHER
There’s no single “right” place to start. Here’s how most people decide:
Start with
Nervous System Mapping Session if:
-
You want clarity before committing to ongoing work
-
You’re curious about why you respond the way you do
-
You feel stuck but don’t know what kind of support you need yet
-
You want something concrete and trackable right away
This is a one-time, 75 minute structured session where we map your nervous system patterns, stress responses, and regulation pathways.
👉 Good for blog readers, first-timers, or people testing the waters.
Begin
Ongoing Therapy if:
-
You want deeper, sustained nervous system and relational work
-
You want help untangling patterns that keep showing up in relationships or your internal world
-
You want space to integrate insight, emotion, and regulation over time
-
You’re ready to build more capacity, flexibility, and emotional bandwidth
Therapy is paced, collaborative, and tailored to how your nervous system actually operates, not a generic protocol.
👉 Good for people ready for longer-term support.
WHAT SESSIONS ARE LIKE
What you can expect
-
A science-informed, nervous-system-centered approach
-
Clear language (not jargon)
-
Attention to what’s happening in your body, not just your thoughts
-
Practical tools alongside deeper understanding
-
Space to move at a pace that feels safe and workable
You don’t have to perform.
You don’t have to “do therapy right.”
We work with what’s already there. ✌️
My Philosophy
No two nervous systems tell the same story.
You’ve lived your life. Your experiences, your environment, your relationships, they’ve all shaped how your body learned to survive. I don’t believe in slapping labels on you and calling it a day. You’re not your diagnosis. You’re a human with a brilliant, adaptive system that’s been doing its best to keep you safe, even if it’s stuck in overdrive.
I work with all humans. If you’re LGBTQIA+, navigating polyamory, or belong to any marginalized community, you belong here. This is inclusive, affirming care where you don’t have to explain your identity before we can start your healing work. You show up exactly as you are. I meet you there.
A NOTE ABOUT READINESS
You don’t need to be sure.
You don’t need to have everything figured out.
If something in this resonates, even quietly, that’s usually enough to begin.
When you’re ready, here are your options:
→ Book a free consultation to talk through what might fit
→ Explore the offerings in more detail
→ Read Still Wired if you want to get a feel for how I think and work
There’s no rush. Start where it feels easiest.
