Feeling trapped in the burnout of it all? Half the time, you’re coping with mental health overwhelm all on your own. The other half? You doubt that anyone–even a counselor–wants to dig into the hot mess express with you.
Here’s the thing: trauma, grief, and depression have a special talent for dimming our shimmer.
You deserve to sparkle (no matter what you’ve been through). I’ll meet you where you’re at, stand with you in the process, and help you find your shine again–one glimmer at a time.
You caught me–I’m bougie. I like things that sparkle in the sun, show off their shine, & are unapologetically colorful. But it’s not just gemstones – I’m here to see people sparkle, too.
When we deal with tragedy and trauma, we dim our glimmer. And just like you, I’ve walked through trauma, grief, and disordered eating. I saw the way that the mental overwhelm of it all challenged my self-worth. I know this isn’t unique to me. We’re trained to be blank slates– to shrink down & dim ourselves so we don’t cause a scene.
The truth? Healing takes boldness, braveness – and a healthy sprinkle of making a scene.
I serendipitously started Bejeweled to send prim and proper therapy packing & to show my clients that therapy can (and should) be a whole vibe.

I’ve always been a sucker for the sparkle of it all
It’s giving hot mess express – & I’m so here for it
The truth? We could all use a little therapy. Whether you’re down to sit in my comfy pink office to dish it all or you’ve got a telehealth state of mind, the goal is always the same.
I’m here to help you make meaning of the events in your life so that you can live more authentically. This is where a no-judgment space collides with evidence-based therapy to help you bring back your shimmer.
Want to get into the service specifics & how we can work together?
…And hello to leaving it open a crack for possibility. We’re never here to mask the negative with a chokehold of toxic positivity. I get it–sometimes things suck. Why sugarcoat?
Helpful, healing counseling is all about blending radical honesty and open-mindedness. In our sessions, I’ll help you adopt a mindset of curiosity to take steady steps toward keeping that door of possibility open (even if it just means first learning how to turn the handle).
Say bye (bye bye) to the impulse to slam the door on anything good…
Anti-diet culture is the real anti-hero (& I’m rooting for her)

Grief, trauma, loss, disordered eating–tough stuff can get to us. But that doesn’t mean you can’t learn healthy coping to make meaning out of it all.
