What do you need?
This is a question we can explore together.
What keeps you up at night? Or consumes you more than you’d like during the day? I’m interested in your incessant thoughts, your exhaustion or burnout, your overwhelm, your feelings that you or your efforts are never enough, painful experiences or losses from your past, relationship troubles, changes you can never get around to or make stick, addictions or behaviors that have power over you, emotional deficits or anything else that needs some nurturing. Together we can better meet your needs, help find the best version of yourself, and not be afraid to let yourself shine.
Maslow’s hierarchy describes how basic needs (like food, water, sleep, etc.) must be met before we can fulfill higher-level needs (like love, confidence, and realizing our full potential). It can be helpful to understand the types of needs we have as humans, to help meet them.
With experience working on the frontlines of the homeless crisis, I understand the importance of having basic needs met. And, as someone with the privilege to have therapy be my second career, I understand the call of the top of the pyramid to find meaning and purpose. Read more about my background here.
We all have unmet needs. We all struggle. Therapy is one way to seek empathy, empowerment, and healing. Read more about what therapy includes here.
