I love unpacking patterns, dismantling the stories that have been running your life, and helping you see yourself clearly. I use analogies, research, and a little chaos to make sense of the mess. I’m not everyone’s cup of tea and that’s okay. I don’t like all teas either, but I promise to be a loyal ally, a fighter for you, and someone unafraid to tackle the tricky, messy, important stuff: religion, politics, sex positivity, because it matters to address the real world you live in. “Be who you needed when you were younger,” is my north star. That’s how I show up every session; protective, honest, and fully in your corner.
I’m a straight shooter with a soft spot for the messy, complicated, “no one’s ever helped me” patients. I’ll tell you what I see, sometimes cuss, sometimes speak fast when I get excited, and always do it with care, humor, and a dash of sass. Sitting with me feels real, safe, grounded, sometimes funny, sometimes intense—but always respectful.
It is a privilege to sit with people as they untangle old stories, learn emotional regulation skills, and reclaim their sense of agency. My therapy dog, Nova, is part of sessions and helps create a calm, grounding environment. Therapy is not about fixing you it’s about strengthening awareness, choice, and resilience so you can move forward with intention.
