If you’re here, you probably already know this. Maybe too well.

From the day-to-day pressures and stresses of just being alive, to the bigger disruptions to our emotional and mental stability like losing a loved one, losing a job, or losing sense of who we are and what we’re doing here — when you add up the things we have to cope with in life, even when life is otherwise okay, it’s… a lot.

Add in the general hostility and violence of the world right now, then add, too, the fact that most people can’t access the one thing that’s supposed to help — therapy — and, well, it’s fucking amazing we’re still here at all, isn’t it?

Life burdens us with more than we’re equipped to carry so much of the time, and we’re often forced to carry it alone.

So, if you’re struggling to cope, whether it be with the smaller, compounding stressors, the bigger acute ones, or the existential terror of merely existing in this current political nightmare, well, first of all, let me just say, this makes perfect sense, and there’s nothing wrong with you (if you were worried about that being the case). Most of us aren’t taught how to cope, and doing it on our own is so so hard. What could you possibly be doing BUT struggling right now?

Second, I’m sorry, because I know what it’s like to be in that place. I’ve struggled to cope with even the smallest of crises for most of my life, and now, even with all the coping tools in the world available to me, and deep knowledge of how to use them, when things are hard, I still struggle — and it fucking sucks.

Amidst all the suckiness, though, there is still some very good news for you: now that you’ve landed here, you can (literally or just metaphorically) breathe a big sigh of relief. You can let go of some of the panic and overwhelm about not knowing what to do right now. And you can let go at least a little of the worrying about how you’ll be able to afford the help you need.

Because while I might not be able to solve all of your problems, or even offer perfect solutions, if you’ve found your way here, you’ve found your way to a massive amount of really fucking good help, created by someone who knows what it’s like to suffer but make it through the days anyway, who’s here to help you do the same, and at a price you can actually afford (because I, too, know all too well what it’s like to be too broke to access good care).

~~~***DISCLAIMER (Read the whole thing! Don’t lose hope!)***~~~

The only bad news: I’m not a therapist, and while that’s more than okay for most things, even as someone who hates both therapy culture and the western medical model of mental health (a topic for another day), even I have to accept there are some things (namely: diagnosis and treatment of mental health conditions) that only a therapist can do, which I can’t meet the need for.

The other good news though: because I’ve priced things on a truly affordable sliding scale, you’ll be able to spend less on learning coping skills, how to stabilize yourself in a crisis, and a ton of other things you would otherwise shell out a lot of money to a therapist to help you learn, plus having access to compassionate presence, emotional support, and resource curation — all of the non-therapeutic things therapistis also offer but at a much, much higher price point — so you can save that money for the therapeutic care that you can’t DIY, if you need it.

That said, don’t let this deflate your hope — I’ve been here, too. Getting excited that someone might be able to offer some relief only to hit the “not a substitute for therapy” disclaimer and feel like you’re a lost cause.

You are not. There is SO MUCH you can do on your own, especially with light-touch guided support, which I offer, even if you have other stuff going on that requires more support or might someday. I am adamant about this. My entire goal with this work is to help empower you to be able to survive hard things and make it through each day in one piece, regardless of your socioeconomic status.
