Geek & Gamer

Affirming Therapy

Harness your passions to drive positive change, foster personal growth, and build resilience in your life.

You may have arrived here if you…

  • Tried reaching out for support but felt misunderstood or judged, especially for your geeky interests

  • Feel more at ease connecting with others in online or geek communities than in your everyday life

  • Experience guilt or shame about your passion for games, comics, or sci-fi, and struggle to find acceptance

  • Value your online friendships and relationships, even if others don’t see them as “real” or significant

  • Find it hard to discuss your experiences with those who don’t share your interests or passions

However you arrived here, I’m so glad you’re here. Read on to see if my therapy services might help you.

If you often feel like there’s something wrong with you or find yourself hiding from your feelings, you might have turned to gaming or other passions as a way to escape. While these activities can offer a temporary reprieve, they might also leave you feeling guilt or shame when you're done.

You might find it difficult to manage emotions like frustration or anger, especially when gaming challenges or real-life stressors intensify these feelings, impacting your overall well-being and daily life.

You might struggle to balance your gaming or geekly interests with other responsibilities, finding it hard to manage your time effectively between them and important tasks like work, school, or personal relationships.

If this resonates with you, it’s important to find a safe space where you can explore your needs and strengths without judgment and work towards a healthier balance.

Seeking therapy with a geek-gamer friendly therapist can provide you with an affirming space where your interests and experiences are understood and valued.

I would love to help you develop skills to feel more connected to others, manage your emotions both online and offline, and harness your resilience to craft the life you’ve always wanted.

As geeks and gamers, we know the power of determination and perseverance through the worlds we explore and love.

By overcoming self-doubt and tapping into your inner hero and inherent strengths, you can embrace the joy in everyday moments and truly thrive.

I’ve been there!

Throughout my life, I’ve faced challenges in balancing responsibilities with my passion for gaming and geeky interests as a way to cope with stress.

My own therapy journey has taught me to understand how life impacts my emotional state, explore the reasons behind my gaming and hobbies, and establish healthy boundaries. This process has helped me achieve balance, emotional regulation, and meaningful connections both online and offline.

I’m passionate about helping others find and strengthen their voices while fully embracing who they are. There is immense strength in our passions and in embracing our true selves. When we tap into this inner strength, we give ourselves the gift of grace and joy in our everyday lives.
