Accepting New Clients!!

Are you ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery and personal growth. Well, Let’s do this! Just so you know, I'm not your every day, run-of-the-mill clinician—I'm a Clinical Misfit. I am an outside of the box thinker and doer. I am a dreamer, wingman, and hype-man for all people.

I specialize in helping individuals and those in relationships conquer the challenges of life, love, and everything in between. Whether you're struggling to find that elusive work/life balance, wanting to heal old wounds, working on self-identity, or “trying to fit in.” Or maybe you need help navigating the chaos of life, learning social skills and behaviors, conversation skills, or just experiencing the world in your own way. Don’t worry, I am here to help you navigate the chaos with style, humor, and a whole lot of authenticity! I got you!

I love helping those navigate trauma that is impacting their lives today by helping them to take back the control and rewrite their narrative so that it works for them and doesn’t hold them back. I love working with those that struggle with believing in themselves (imposter syndrome) and I want to help those that are scared to go after any dream that is floating around inside of them. Dreams like writing, acting, getting published, changing careers, building confidence, dating, college, friendships, and/or just figuring out their identity as a whole human. Who are you and how do you write you own narrative that isn’t controlled by your past or others? This is what we will work on together and turn your story into something amazing and successful! Let me hold this space for you. Let me be your professional hype-man. Your wing man in life for all things!

Whether it's through interactive workshops and experiences, outdoor activities, or creative exercises, my experiential approach allows you to engage with your identity on a deeper level and uncover hidden insights about yourself. Through our tailored sessions, you'll learn to navigate life's complexities with confidence and clarity. Discover how your whole person identity influences your interactions with the world around you, and harness that knowledge to create meaningful connections, advance in your career, and cultivate a more fulfilling life.

So, what do you say? Are you ready to embrace your quirks, conquer the chaos, and live your best damn life? Let me be your guide as you embark on this transformative journey of self-discovery. Take the first step towards a brighter future and schedule your consultation today. Let's do this thing! Because being yourself and living your best life is the ultimate superpower.
