From surviving to building a life outside the box
Life Outside The Box
I offer inclusive and trauma-informed mental health coaching, consultation, and agency-wide trainings. My work centers people who live outside rigid systems and expectations, including neurodivergent, LGBTQ+, disabled, chronically stressed, and system-impacted communities.
With over 15 years of experience across community mental health, youth and family services, trauma work, and program leadership, I blend practical support with creativity, critical thinking, and real-world tools. My approach is strengths-based, anti-oppressive, and grounded in the belief that care, self-knowledge, and collective support are forms of resistance.
Services are offered virtually, with select in-person options depending on location and need.

Support that actually fits
Feel steadier in your day-to-day
Together we’ll build practical routines, boundaries, and coping tools that match your brain, body, and life. You’ll learn how to notice what’s actually driving overwhelm and respond with strategies that work outside a perfect-world schedule. Expect support that’s trauma-informed, nonjudgmental, and focused on progress you can feel.
Make sense of your patterns
We’ll connect the dots between your history, stress responses, and current challenges so you can stop blaming yourself for what’s actually adaptive. You’ll gain language for your needs, clearer self-trust, and a plan for what to do when old patterns show up. The goal is insight you can use, not analysis that leaves you stuck.
Create systems that support you
You’ll design structures that reduce friction—communication scripts, decision frameworks, and realistic planning that respects capacity. We’ll prioritize what matters, simplify what doesn’t, and build a setup you can maintain even on hard weeks. This is about making life more livable, not more optimized.
