About
All out of rabbits, all out of hats. People have always relied on you. You used to be able to magic it all together, sometimes even last minute, and make it look effortless. But then the deadlines got too numerous, the to-do lists too long. It feels like life mutated and you’re struggling to wrap your head around it all. What changed? Maybe you just started college. Maybe you never really bounced back after the pandemic. Maybe it’s a midlife crisis. Or maybe it’s not one big thing but dozens of smaller changes that have worn you down. It’s possible you don’t know the reason. What you do know is that you’re burned out. I specialize in working with people pleasers, college students, autistic & ADHD folks, and parents. Many of my clients are chronic high achievers, entrepreneurs, neurodivergent or highly sensitive, and/or burned out 2e/gifted kids that are all grown up and tired af. Overworked, underappreciated, and tired of it all? Let’s talk. I have 19 years of experience doing this work. Free 30 minute consultations and I am taking new clients. For those curious, I am trained in EMDR and IFS for trauma recovery work and also offer sandtray. Specialties: We start with weekly appointments to build trust and momentum and get you some relief from whatever first brought you in. Most people benefit from a tailored blend of practical strategies/information, along with space to talk through their thoughts & feelings. Over time, people taper or pause sessions & then return if needed. Most folks I see work with me off and on for years. Credentials & Experience: I have nearly 20 years' experience working as a therapist, with additional training in trauma-informed therapy and theory including EMDR, IFS and IPNB. I'm licensed in both Texas and Georgia.
"Therapy with me is like a warm hug mixed with some nerdy humor, plus a kind of scary ability to remember details (your pets' names, I will know all of them). My job is to help you feel safe enough to talk about the hard stuff, so you can change what needs changing & accept what needs accepting. And in spite of how it's written about here, my approach is steeped in a lot of fascinating science."
