Therapy for Anxious Misfits, Overachievers, and Sensitive Souls
It’s okay to say no

It’s time to ditch people pleasing
You’ve spent most of your life keeping everyone else comfortable and happy.
Now it’s time to focus on what you need and what truly helps you feel grounded. It’s okay to stop running on empty.
You’ve tried all the “right” things: yoga, self-help, even therapy. But here you are, still exhausted. Perfectionism, people-pleasing, and anxiety take up way too much space in your life.
Maybe you’re navigating a queer identity in a world that doesn’t always see you. Or maybe you’re a professional, stretched thin from holding it all together. On the outside, everything might look fine. Inside, it feels like things are about to fall apart.
It’s a lot to carry.
You don’t have to keep doing it alone.
Hello, fellow highly sensitive, people pleasing, perfectionist
I see you
Are you tired of:
* Trying to figure out what everyone else needs?
* Wondering where (or if) you truly belong?
* Overcommitting when you don’t have the energy to give?
* Keeping the peace, even when it costs you?
* Saying “I’m fine” when you actually feel like hell.
* Wishing someone finally notices?
I know what it’s like to lose your voice trying to keep the peace. My passion is working with folks who’ve spent years managing other people’s comfort, and are ready to stop apologizing for having needs of their own.
Together, we can start untangling the stories that have kept you stuck - whether it’s perfectionism, complex trauma, people-pleasing, internalized biphobia, or old family messages that told you it wasn’t safe to take up space. We’ll get curious about the roots of those patterns, build your “no” muscle, and practice ways of being kind that don’t erase you in the process.
It’s time to paint outside the lines. Rediscover the playful and creative part of yourself. It’s okay to have a light heart. It’s okay to want more. It’s okay to step into your power, even if your voice feels a little shaky.
Own your truth. Stand firm in your wisdom, and live a life of imperfect authenticity.
Deep Dive Into Your Healing Journey
Where messy meets magic.
Does Therapy Really Help?
In a word: Yes! Most people I work with experience significant, lasting improvements in their well-being and quality of life.
When we explore your experiences together, you can start uncovering the roots of your struggles - whether that’s old trauma or internalized beliefs that keep anxiety and depression affecting your daily life. We’ll get curious about what’s holding you back and understand how it shows up today.
As we work together, you’ll begin to:
Trust yourself and feel more confident in your beautifully messy life.
Feel secure and affirmed in your sexuality, no matter whose hand you hold.
Decide who deserves to know about your queer identity - and do it on your terms.
Accept yourself with genuine compassion and understanding.
Embrace playful joy and silliness, without apology.
Give fewer fucks, and more energy for yourself.
We might be a good fit if:
You’re a high-achieving perfectionist or Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) who’s ready to stop running on empty.
You’ve been in therapy before and want deeper, trauma-informed, connection-based work - not quick fixes
You’re open to a little woo alongside real-world, research-backed healing.
You’re ready to face the hard stuff, like trauma, shame, or the inner critic that won’t shut up - even if it’s uncomfortable as hell.
You want to untangle how systems like patriarchy, racism, and fat phobia shape your self-image and stress.
You want to work with a trauma-informed, LGBTQ+ therapist who sometimes curses like a sailor.
We might not be a good fit if:
You’re looking for couples, family, or short-term therapy focused on communication skills.
You’d rather not focus on deeper patterns and trauma- based personal growth.
You’re currently at risk for suicide, or actively struggling with self-harm or disordered eating.
You need ongoing crisis or psychiatric support outside of therapy sessions.
You’re looking for short-term therapy rather than long-term trauma informed work.
You’re not interested in exploring how systems like patriarchy, racism, and fat phobia shape your stress and self-image.
You’re uncomfortable working with LGBTQIA+-affirming therapy or a queer-friendly practice.
