welcome, glad you're here!
You're probably curious about what therapy with me would be like.
You don't want to just talk about your problems, you also want practical, down to earth solutions to help you feel better. I'm a big fan of helping people see how bright and beautiful they are while challenging them to explore the areas of growth they want. But notice how I said what THEY WANT, because you've probably had enough people in your life telling you who you should be and what you should or shouldn't want, and I don't want to be another one of those people....so you're not going to be told what to do, instead, we'll figure out what you want and I'll help you build the skills or mindset to get it.
I want you to be comfortable just being you...
The people who work best with me want to take action and make changes.
They want the following:
-a therapist that keeps it real but also keeps a safe, professional container;
-truth bombs and accountability;
-to express their own self agency;
-confidence to live life by their own rules;
-practical, down to earth solutions;
-solutions that involve their mind, body, culture, and soul;
-to cuss, cry, or wear slippers to our appointments.
Most importantly, you want to know that you're being heard, and won't be judged, shamed, or told you're a terrible person.

I don't fit well with...
People who don’t work well with me are those who:
-would rather work in person instead of tele-health;
-are seeking conventional westernized therapy modalities;
-just want to talk or vent about problems without making a change;
-don’t like swear words;
-don’t think that privilege is stacked against BIPOC, LGBT+, women, and people with disabilities - no we don’t have to talk about it in therapy, but if your world view doesn’t support these groups then we probably won’t get along.

YOU'RE PROBABLY CURIOUS ABOUT WHAT THERAPY
WITH ME WOULD BE LIKE.
I’ve been a Clinical Social Worker for over 12 years, and an educator and advocate for much of my life. I value action, problem solving, traditional healing, diversity, the natural life force that runs through us, and a balance with modern science and technology.
I try to make a habit of ending sessions with people feeling better and not feeling terrible after we talk about some deep shit. You've already gone through a lot, you deserve an experience that feels more like drinking a warm, cozy cup of tea, and not like you're still walking on broken glass.
If you're interested in scheduling or asking me a few questions to see if you want to work with me - take a few breaths and shake out the tension, shoot me a call, text, or email and we'll get to it!
