Counseling
Hey, healer!

Are you an empath who struggles
with feeling like “too much” and “not enough” at the same time?
Setting boundaries feels impossible. Guilt is an uncomfortably familiar feeling you just can’t shake. Masking your emotions has become second nature because you can’t stand the thought of other people perceiving you, even though you are terribly lonely.
Growing up, you had to be a mini adult in your family and got really good at masking how you feel. You have a hard time saying no, so you overcommit yourself to the point of burnout rather than risk others being disappointed in you. Maybe you identify as an empath. You might even be a therapist or other helping professional dealing with some strong “imposter syndrome,” unable to translate the skills you teach clients into your own life.
Maybe you’ve recently reconnected with your Inner Badass and set some big boundaries with family or friends. Now what? Instead of feeling empowered after cutting out that toxic family member, you feel empty, anxious, and full of doubts. You want to break the cycle, but have no idea how.
How I Can Help You
I teach my clients how to slow down and figure out what they are feeling, learning the skills to sit with difficult emotions instead of numbing them or pushing them away. If you struggle with dissociation, I know great techniques to help you come home to your body and make it a safer place to live in. We look at old patterns from the past with curiosity and gentleness instead of judgement. I love nerding out about the brain science behind EMDR and other trauma treatments that gives us a glimpse into why we react to certain situations the way we do. Throughout our sessions, I am on the lookout for patterns and connections that can help deepen self-awareness and create space for my clients to make more informed and empowered choices.
Why Chiron?
Chiron (kai-ruhn) is known as the “wounded healer” in Greek mythology. He was the immortal centaur son of Cronus and Philya. Found and raised by the god Apollo, Chiron stood apart from his primal and often violent Centaur brethren. He became known for his wisdom, knowledge and capacity for healing.
Struck by an errant poisonous arrow shot by Hercules, Chiron found himself deeply wounded yet unable to die as a result of his divine ancestry. Finally Chiron bargained with Zeus for Prometheus’ freedom, and was placed among the stars.
In the astrological natal chart, Chiron is a comet with a rather unique orbit that symbolizes our deepest wounds and efforts to heal that wound.
