Nice to meet you
Maybe you’re here because you’ve tried to hack your brain and it didn’t work the way you hoped, you’re struggling to make changes that support optimal health and functioning, or you keep getting error messages from your mind but can’t figure out why the “check engine” light stays on. You might also be frustrated searching for a therapist who won’t just say, “So how does that make you feel?” My goal is to help you feel more supported and less alone, even if you feel despondent, frustrated, or stuck about making change.
