About My Clients
My clients are primarily adult professionals and young adults with concerns related to stress, anxiety, and burnout. I love working with adult professionals and young adults in the first few years of their careers. I have a special interest in working with women, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, adults who were raised by emotionally immature parents, and anyone who struggles with perfectionism or being a 'people-pleaser'.
My Background and Approach
I bring a huge amount of calm, compassion, validation and experience to therapy sessions. I am very good at noticing things said and unsaid, asking incisive questions and bringing unhelpful patterns of behavior into your awareness so you can respond in new ways with a greater sense of skill and control. I am warm, friendly and real. Expect me to use puns, sarcasm and the occasional swear word. I won’t BS you or spout toxic positivity. Therapy is hard. There is no getting around that, but do the work and you'll change your life for the better. :) I provide a free 15-minute consultation to anyone interested in working with me. This is always the first step. I get a sense of the challenges you are facing and you get a sense of my style and energy as a therapist to decide if it works for you. It is very important that you feel I am the right fit because our rapport is the foundation for an effective therapeutic relationship.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
There is an expression in feminism ‘the personal is the political’ and that is how I view my work as a therapist— ‘the personal is my profession’. I am a white, bisexual, cis gender woman who lives with ADHD, anxiety and depression. I've been a therapy client too, and I know how scary and uncomfortable that kind of vulnerability can feel. Therapy is an act of courage. You start by talking to a stranger about things you may have never spoken about. Yes, you are taking a risk, and I will treat you and your story with the respect they deserve.
