Therapy can be daunting. challenging and weird. 

​

And not all therapists are created equally. We each have areas where we shine, which is why finding a therapist that is a good fit for you, is so important. I am good at getting clients past the daunting, through the challenging and into the more enjoyable aspects of therapy. Yes, I said enjoyable. 

​

How? Because I've been fortunate enough to be able to focus on what I am good at and part of that is that I'm a bit weird. Admittedly, I am biased and believe all truly good therapists are at least a little bit weird. It's part of our creative, out-of-the-box way of doing therapy. I get to show up in a super genuine way and that is reflected in the therapeutic relationships that I have with folks. 

All of this helps me in being really good at putting people at ease. You'll figure out quickly that I won't judge your "stuff." 

It also allows me to know when I've made a misstep with a client and need to own my "stuff" and repair. No therapist is perfect; we for sure make mistakes and that sucks but thankfully, for most of us, our mistakes are such that we can come back from them and this process often strengthens our connection with y'all. 

​

Okay, onto some other info that may help you decide to work with me.

​

I'm a parent (bio & step), a spouse (I have been through divorce though), and someone's child/sibling/friend, etc. I'm Neurodivergent and a member of the LGBQTIA2+ community. So, because of how statistics work, we've likely got some similarities. Which means I've probably experienced some of the same struggles as you​. And there have been times, where I know how much it sucks to not have answers or good, healthy support. 

​

I feel like clients tend to come in with a big bucket of puzzle pieces, dump them on the floor and then look to me for some type of guidance on how to even start putting it all together.  I'm particularly fond of watching clients grow as we figure out what to do with these pieces. Part of this is looking at where you've been, where you are now and exploring where you want to go. I always want to see clients have healthy relationships with the people in their lives, whatever that specifically looks like for them. However, I strongly believe that is only possible, if you prioritize the relationship with yourself -- it will be the deepest relationship you have.  Easier said than done, I know. 

​

I'm what I like to call a realistic optimist. Which means, I will not spew out rainbows, unicorns and toxic positivity but I will absolutely believe in you and what you're capable of even on the days when you can't. I believe you're capable of being content and finding balance. I believe you're capable of having healthy connections. You already have so much of what you're looking for and part of my role is to help you see that yourself. 

​

Some of my core values as a therapist are informed by: anti-racism and feminism.

Modern​ feminist therapy is not just for women. It seeks to support and address the concerns of all those who have been impacted by systems of oppression. This includes Black/Brown/Indigenous/People of Color, LGBQTIA2+ folks, Neurodivergent people, Disabled people, etc.
