That idea you have in your head about what therapy is and that picture of what a therapist is supposed to be-yeah THAT one-it isn’t like that here. If you've tried therapy before and HATED it, if you're ready to make moves in your life, ready to get real and own your shit, or if you need a safe space to dump with a REAL person that doesn’t give a shit what it is you did or think you did, let me introduce myself. We do real talk here and nothing less-unadulterated authenticity and I will not cosign your bullshit.
I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and a Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist. I earned my undergraduate degree in Psychology and Drug and Alcohol Studies as well a Master of Science degree in Clinical Counseling with a Military and Trauma Certification from East Carolina University. (Don't worry, I can't believe I'm a therapist either.)
Here's all the other important shit you need to know: My job as a therapist first is to protect my people and second protect the space. I am NOT for everybody. I prefer the 'Mr. Miyagi' approach to therapy-I pull from multiple different theoretical perspectives. Once you get the hang of 'wax-on, wax-off' change will already be happening, young grasshopper.

I'm a real therapist, promise. I have the college loan debt and the very expensive (and still not paid for yet, thanks COVID) pieces of paper hanging in my office to prove it but I will never be the stereotypical 'therapist'. I'm not for everybody and I feel REAL good about it.

Regardless of what landed you here-having a safe place to dump whatever you've been carrying with somebody who doesn't give a shit what it is or what you've done AND has no skin in the game, is fucking magic. I don't fix or save people-I give room to make the changes YOU choose. I will never endorse, encourage, or propose the 'healing' cliche-especially with trauma-it's absolute bullshit.
