💕 Welcome to this little pocket of the universe.


Hi, I’m Misty. My approach is relational, intuitive, and grounded, not clinical or cold. It’s a space to be exactly who you are, without needing to explain or wear masks. I work best with people who feel deeply, think a lot, and have often been told they’re “too much.” If you’ve ever felt out of place, burned out, or like you’re carrying more than anyone can see, you’re in the right place. I welcome neurodivergent clients, queer clients, clients exploring deconstruction or existential grief, and anyone who’s ever felt like they didn’t quite belong in traditional spaces.

My work is rooted in DBT and a flexible, human-first approach that adapts to you. I don’t believe in fitting you into a method, I believe in building something that meets you where you are. Whether you’re navigating depression, identity, relational trauma, or existential overwhelm… I will hold the space with you. We can sit in silence. We can sort through spirals. We can reclaim what still matters.

Yes, it’s that complicated… and you’re not too much for me.
