Not your average therapist
If you're looking for the cross-legged in an armchair, nodding with a notepad therapist, I am not the one! No judgment, they do great work, it's just not my style. I can't plop myself into just one box so let's call my approach "eclectic." Therapy is not one-size-fits-all. That's why I tailor my approach to you and your unique needs. I take my time getting to know your strengths and then I help you amplify them to reach your goals using a variety of techniques and modalities.
On a personal level, I'm a down to earth, kind of crunchy, sarcastic and sassy mom to one human child and three fur children. I enjoy overdoing it in my flower and vegetable garden every year, battling to keep my 30 something house plants alive through the winter, fudging recipes with whatever I have on hand, yoga #teamchildpose, falling in and out of meditation practice, listening to podcasts, audiobooks, music, and exploring new places. Also, doughnuts. Yes, I am a real human, just like you!
I'm no stranger to therapy and have no qualms about sharing my story. Establishing a sense of safety and trust in our therapeutic relationship is essential to your healing. In therapy, I make it known that I'm not your superior, I'm your equal. You are not alone on this journey. I am on my own journey, too and I am so grateful to have found this profession along the way. I love what I do, I care about my clients and it shows, they have had great results! The best compliment I can receive is a referral from a current or past client. I must be doing something right!
I genuinely want to hear your story and see if I can help you meet your goals. If you think we'd be a good fit, contact me! I will let you know if I can meet your needs.
