In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Therapy should be something you look forward to each week as a part of your self-care. My goal is for you to leave feeling lighter, more confident in your ability to make choices that align with your values, and help you build a fuller, healthier, happier life. Our sessions will be a non-judgemental space where you can process anything holding you back or weighing you down. It should also be a space where you feel safe enough to have the unhelpful thoughts and patterns that keeping you stuck challenged - and to collaborate on a strategy to change them. Our first session will be focused on getting to know you, your background, your goals, and starting to build a collaborative therapeutic alliance.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I think my biggest strength as a therapist is that I’m genuinely curious about why people are the way they are, and that I believe there’s no topic too taboo or uncomfortable to talk through in therapy - it’s all fair game here. I also believe something that sets me apart is that I believe humor has it’s place in session as much as any other human experience - a good cry and a good laugh are both healing. We can take the work seriously without taking ourselves too seriously. I’ve also had clients tell me it’s helpful how I can “compassionately call them out on their bullshit.” :)

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I have experience with clients with a wide variety of issues and backgrounds, and I’m open to taking on anyone ready to do the work of therapy - and it is WORK! That being said, the clients I’ve tended to click best with have been: LGBTQ folks, young people trying to navigate the transition to independent adult life, people rebuilding their lives as they end a romantic relationship, creative types, neurodivergent individuals, and people who want to work on being kinder to themselves. I also have significant experience working with clients with a history of suicidal ideation and self-harm.
