Rather than bore you with my accomplishments, I'm hoping I can convey the essence of who I am & why I love what I do. I am not your typical "how does that make you feel?" therapist. I put a quirky spin on professionalism and show up to sessions authentically. Sessions with me are down-to-to earth, with sprinkles of humor, challenges where needed, and focuses on genuine conversation. Life doesn't have to feel like a shit show and you don't deserve to settle with being comfortably uncomfortable. If you want a therapist that shows up, helps understand the "why's", & gives realistic skills to make actual changes, I'm your girl.
I am overwhelmingly passionate about helping people fall back in love with themselves and their lives by tackling pesky obstacles, working with anxious spirals, understanding emotions, and making realistic changes. Let's navigate the tough stuff, celebrate victories in-between, and make tomorrow look, feel, and be different.
Carrying the heavy well doesn't mean it isn't heavy, it's heavy. Let's work through the heavy and find a way to put it down. If you want a space to vent, dig deep, better understand yourself, or get out of that uncomfortable comfortable space, I'd love to stand with you and I'm ready when you are. Let's take your life back.
