Therapy for Anxious Misfits, Overachievers, and Sensitive Souls
It’s okay to put yourself first
LGBTQ+ owned business Tele-therapy across Oregon
It’s time to ditch people pleasing
You’ve spent your life keeping everyone else comfortable — making sure no one’s upset, disappointed, or hurt. Now it’s time to figure out what you need, what actually helps you feel grounded, and stop running on empty.
You’ve done all the “right” things — yoga, self-help, even therapy — but here you are, still exhausted. Perfectionism, people-pleasing, and anxiety are taking up way too much space.
Maybe you’re navigating a queer identity in a world that doesn’t always see you. Or you’re a professional, stretched thin by the emotional weight of putting others first and the pressure to hold it all together. On the outside, you look capable. Inside, it’s a different story.
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 — and wishing someone would finally notice?
If you’re tired of bending over backwards to make life easier for everyone else, you’re in the right place. Like so many women and gender rebels, I know what it’s like to lose your voice trying to keep the peace. I work 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’ll start untangling the stories that have kept you stuck — whether it’s complex trauma, perfectionism, 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, help you build your ‘no’ muscle, and practice quieter ways of being kind that don’t erase you in the process.
It’s time to say fuck it, and paint outside the lines. Rediscover the parts of yourself that are playful, creative, and real. 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 shakes a little.
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! The majority of people I work with experience significant and lasting improvements in their well-being and quality of life.
When we dive deep into your experiences, you’ll start uncovering the roots of your struggles — whether that’s old trauma, internalized beliefs, or patterns that have kept you stuck for years. Together, we won’t just treat surface symptoms — we’ll get curious about the deeper stories and patterns that keep you stuck, and spend time where it actually matters.
As we work together, you’ll begin to:
Trust yourself and feel more confident in your beautifully messy life.
Feel secure 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 an anxious, 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 want a therapist who understands burnout, and setting boundaries.
You’re open to a little woo alongside real-world, research-backed healing.
You’re ready to face the hard stuff — trauma, shame, or the inner critic that won’t shut up — even when it’s uncomfortable as hell.
You want to untangle the effects of patriarchy, hustle culture, and old family conditioning so you can finally feel at home in your own skin.
You’re fine with a trauma-informed, LGBTQ+ therapist who sometimes curses like a sailor.
We might not be a good fit if:
This would be your very first experience with therapy and you’d prefer a structured, skills-based approach to start (like CBT or DBT)
Working through trauma history right now might destabilize your daily life.
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 couples, family, or short-term therapy focused only on symptom relief.
You’re not interested in exploring how systems like patriarchy, racism, or fat phobia shape your stress and self-image.
You prefer to keep things logical and surface-level instead of exploring emotional depth.
You’re uncomfortable working with LGBTQIA+-affirming therapy or a queer-friendly practice.
