Welcome to Keeping Things Whole Therapy!
A bicoastal practice supporting neurodivergent and gender diverse teenagers, adults, and families in finding balance and living authentically.
Maybe you’re here because…
You feel like a chameleon, trying to shape yourself into what others will appreciate & accept.
You feel exhausted by constantly wearing a mask & trying to keep up.
You feel like there is something unspoken that everybody else seems to understand except you.
You feel ashamed and like you don’t deserve the same kind of respect as everyone else because of some unspoken “broken” thing about you.
You feel burnt out and unsure whether or not you can continue keeping up with pretenses.
You are struggling with your gender or another aspect of your identity & unsure how to move forward.
You want to start living more on your terms, but you aren’t sure what that would even look like because you’ve been masking so long you’ve even fooled yourself.
I’m passionate about supporting you on the journey because I get how it can feel. I deeply want to understand how it feels for you & meet your therapy needs.
My practice’s philosophy is informed by dialectics, the idea that multiple perspectives and stances can be true at the same time, and that as human beings we are unable to see the whole picture. If we can acknowledge that, we can stop seeing the world in all or nothing standards, (who is right and who is wrong or who wins the argument or who loses), and we can start living in the spaces in between. This is where the full spectrum of experience, joy, sadness, creativity, sensuality, pain, vulnerability, deep connection really exists. With this way of thinking, we can move away from shame and fear of failure and really dig into the meat of what life has to offer.
