Healing and growth happen in relationship. It’s our shared capacity that gives us room to be bold and brave.
Individual Counseling
Trauma, neurodivergence, and being marginalized are each complex experiences, even more so when they are layered on top of one another. Complex experiences require a deeply human understanding to navigate effectively.
When we see depression as a reflection of stuckness and anger an expression of self-respect, we begin to see the underlying importance of attending to the core self.
Healing requires wholly embracing the entirety of who you are and what you’ve experienced, providing yourself with the safety, love, belonging, and other resources you needed, and reconnecting to the strong inner truth about your worth and purpose to guide you forward.
I know it sounds like a lot but when we go slow, challenge self-sabotage (really survival strategies that are no longer responding to the same external challenges), and treat ourselves in new, loving ways, we can make big strides!
If you’re ready to begin the process, if you’re ready for the next chapter, reach out for a quick consultation. We can do the tough stuff, especially when we have support.

Mental Health Coaching
Coaching is different from counseling in that it focuses specifically on supporting you in the present and immediate future. Sometimes you don’t need to recover from past injury, you need the resource of a second perspective on what you’re facing right now.
It can be tough being a ‘stranger in a strange land’ or the ‘ADHD abroad’ colleague. There’s so much that traveling, immigrating, or just existing in unexpected ways can bring up. Coaching can get you clarity, concrete tools, and a sense of consistency to face it all.
We’ll build the short, mid, and long term goals to guide your efforts and make accountability and celebration a regular part of the work. Each nomad/immigrant/traveler’s story and struggles are unique, but living that life gives me a bit of insight so you won’t have to fight against the ‘wouldn’t it be easier’ bias.

Clinical Supervision
We have often been encouraged to view supervision as a resource for navigating the crisis moments we might encounter with clients or as a necessary obstacle to reaching full licensure. And while it is those things, if that’s all you’re getting from supervision you are missing out.
Upon graduation (or even if you’ve been practicing for a while) you likely have a solid base of skill and theory but do you know how to bring yourself to the work in an ethical and constructive way. This is professional identity and coupling your authentic relational style, ethics, and interests with your professional presence, case conceptualization, and clinical approach is what will distinguish you as a provider.
You can’t come to this work as a blank slate (that poses real dangers to your clients) and why would you want to? The single most impactful aspect of counseling interventions is the relationship. And clients don’t relate to your skills, they relate to your personhood.
So, if you’re wanting a bit of support finding who you are as a counselor, reach out.

What Sets Our Work Apart
Invitational
We won’t bulldoze our way into the hard stuff. We will foster a trusting relationship with the protective parts within you so we are invited to go deeper.
Structural
You don’t exist in a vacuum. Your burnout isn’t solved with a vacation and your procrastination doesn’t need another planner. We will incorporate a recognition of societal factors into your work so you can make real progress.
Accountable
Our mind-body needs to feel it to learn it, this is why some folks get stuck in counseling. We won’t rely on insight to build change, we will focus on putting insight into action.
