Does this sound familiar?

You’ve needed changes in your life, but for too long, your efforts get complicated by self-sabotage and triggered reactions.

When triggered, you prefer to isolate and withdraw so you don’t need to worry more about straining your relationships.

You’ve had to be self-reliant for so long that you can’t imagine asking for what you need without feeling selfish or worrying about burdening others.

There’s been less room for meaningful connection, play, and joy in your life, because much of your attention is preoccupied with anticipating harm or preventing social rejection. 

At any “wrong turn” unrelenting self-criticism can take over. So you’ve adapted by carefully monitoring your feelings, thoughts, and decisions. 

You know that you’re self-aware. You may have even become knowledgeable about your struggles. But you don’t know how to implement the steps towards actual deep and lasting healing and change. 

You are not alone. And you are courageous for taking steps to invest in skilled, specialized help.

If you’re considering seeking mental health support with me, you’re in the right place.

My name is Jon (they/them/theirs). I’m experienced, trained, and specialized in helping trauma survivors heal emotional and relational wounds at their deeper roots.

Using approaches informed by cutting edge mind-body research, anti-oppressive frameworks, and cultural sensitivity, I can help you become less influenced by your painful past and more in charge of your life in the present and future. The clarity, healing, growth, mental flexibility, and skills gained through our work will be priceless and yours forever. 

To get started, schedule a free 15-minute consultation call with me. During this call, we’ll talk through any questions you have and determine if we’re a good fit to work together. And if we decide we’re not a good fit, I’d be glad to share other trusted options that could work well for your circumstances.

“Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation and that is an act of political warfare.”
