Is it too late to take back what I have done? Cuts… about 10… in just the last two days. The Pain from this everlasting circle of sorrow, hate, the want to make it all end… I just don’t know what to do anymore. My mother… She keeps saying things that echo… The things she has said in the past, they echo too. I can’t make it stop, i hear everything she has said, every little thing wrong with me, over and over. I can’t make it stop, I would if I could. She found out I cut… She told me to stop, that it was stupied, that I could talk to her… But then she does these things, says things. I don’t know what to do. I can’t leave, I’m half way around the world from anybody that could help me. I can’t get help here, we are in China on a work resume… We aren’t citizens, nothing can be done. There are no school councelers…. Th;e last one left. I’m trapped…. I can’t do aything anymore. I don;t enjoy writeing like I used too, everything I write feels sad, empty, dark, or just… dissapointing. I can’t bring myself to pt effort into school… It just doesn’t feel worth it anymore. I don’t want to eat that much anymore, but I know i have enough fat to last me for months… Thats for sure. I’m just so ready to just become clothing, then hang it. It’s not like anybody would care. Nobody would ever care. My friends say they do, but I know they say it so that I don;t end it, so that they can make me feel cared about. But i’m not. I know that… I wish they would stop pretending.

That’s why I’m here. My tools range from innovative new mind-body modalities (e.g., Energy Psychology) to the most ancient spiritual/energetic modality (shamanic healing).

This is the main reason I almost always have one or more licensed therapists as clients. See the testimonials on my website.
Life has thrown all of us a lot of curveballs in the past 6 months. Everyone can benefit from therapy at some point in their life, and people decide to start therapy for different reasons. You might be feeling sad, irritable, overwhelmed, or worried. I believe that in order to find healing from the distress we are experiencing, we need to find connection and purpose. In therapy, I strive to help clients find ways to find safe, healing connection and ways of being known. No matter what we have experienced in our lives, feeling and being known in a relationship helps unlocks doors to infinitely more possibilities. I offer a free phone consultation to discover if I am a good fit for you and what you might hope to gain from therapy.

The idea of going to therapy can be scary. Choosing a therapist is overwhelming. Calling that therapist is intimidating.
Please understand that you are not alone in feeling scared, overwhelmed, and intimidated. But considering therapy does not mean that there is something wrong with you. Therapy is not for “bad” people or “crazy” people. Therapy is for people who want help sorting through the confusing thoughts and beliefs that they have. If you are afraid of what people think about you, fear that you are unlovable/bad, or are afraid that you might not be good enough, please consider calling me.

I have had the privilege throughout my nearly 9 years of work in the mental health field to help the entire lifespan, but I have a passion mostly for marginalized communities, relationship/familial conflict, and other intergenerational issues.

My job as a therapist is to act as guide while you are empowered to tackle both inner and outer barriers. I also believe that mental health services belong to all people, no matter their socioeconomic background or ethnicity. Everyone and anyone can benefit from being truly seen and heard.
