Gifted people often experience life intensely—from a young age, many sense their depth of perception, emotional sensitivity, or intellectual voracity sets them apart. For some, this can be thrilling and expansive. For others, it can bring a quiet ache: of not quite fitting in, of questioning everything, of holding too much. Often, it’s both. As a gifted person and psychotherapist, I know how isolating it can be to navigate a world that doesn’t always reflect or affirm your intensity, complexity, or deep longing for meaning. Many gifted individuals come to therapy carrying layers of misattunement, masked brilliance, or unshared inner lives. My role is to create a therapeutic space where these inner landscapes can be named, honored, and explored without needing to be diluted or explained away. My approach is rooted in existential-humanistic and transpersonal psychology, meaning I am less interested in labeling what’s “wrong” and more invested in helping you uncover what’s real and true for you. Together, we may explore the questions that keep you up at night: Why am I here? What does it mean to live authentically? How do I live with both beauty and sorrow? These questions are not signs of pathology—they are the sacred terrain of the gifted mind and spirit. In addition to talk therapy, I offer somatic interventions that support emotional regulation and deeper connection to the body. For some clients, I also offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP), which can open unique pathways to healing, particularly when working with entrenched patterns, existential distress, or spiritual disconnection. KAP is not a quick fix, but a carefully held space for transformation—one that honors your inner wisdom and capacity for growth. I am especially passionate about supporting clients at the intersections of giftedness, queerness, neurodivergence (such as autism and ADHD), and chronic or terminal illness. In these overlapping identities, gifted individuals often face systemic misunderstandings, invisibility, or contradictory expectations. I provide a compassionate, attuned presence where your complexity is not just understood—it’s respected. For those living with chronic or terminal illness, or navigating end-of-life questions, I bring a calm, grounded presence to support emotional processing, meaning-making, and relational repair. Gifted people often face unique challenges in these circumstances: existential despair, hyperawareness of loss, or even guilt about unfulfilled potential. Therapy becomes a space not only for grief, but for integrating life’s fullness. I work best with those who want to go deep—who are drawn to therapy not just to “fix” something, but to live more truthfully. If you’re someone who feels too much, thinks too much, or often wonders whether there’s something wrong with the way you experience the world, know this: you are not too much. You are simply gifted in a world that often misunderstands what that means. Whether you’re exploring your identity, healing from past trauma, navigating complex relationships, or standing at the edge of profound life change, I offer a place where all of you is welcome—including the parts that haven’t had much room to breathe. Therapy with me is a collaboration: a process of becoming more fully yourself, in all your brilliance, nuance, and mystery. Let’s make space for your truth.
