Finding the right therapist matters.
Therapy is personal. You can find someone with the right credentials, specialties, and training and still not feel like they’re your person.
A good therapeutic relationship should give you space to gradually become more comfortable showing up as yourself—without judgment, shame, or pressure to have everything figured out.
I’m warm, collaborative, curious, and pretty human in the therapy room. I’ll bring my training, experience, and plenty of tools, but I don’t believe that makes me the expert on you.
You already bring your own experiences, strengths, insight, values, and instincts into the room. My role is to help you slow things down, get curious, notice patterns, connect some of the pieces, and figure out what actually works for you.
We might be a good fit if...
You want a therapist who will work with you, not talk at you.
You’re interested in understanding not only what you’re feeling, but the thoughts, patterns, experiences, relationships, and nervous-system responses that may be underneath it.
You appreciate practical tools and coping skills, but you also want space for curiosity, reflection, emotion, humor, and the occasional “wait...that actually makes so much sense” moment.
You want therapy that can be flexible. Some days we might be talking things through. Other days we might use CBT, Brainspotting, mindfulness, somatic or nervous-system-informed practices, experiential techniques, or another approach that makes sense for what you need that day.
You’re open to therapy being more than simply trying to make uncomfortable feelings disappear. You want to understand yourself better, recognize patterns, build on your strengths, and create changes that actually feel sustainable in your life.
And maybe you’re interested in having the option to incorporate spirituality, creativity, oracle cards, crystals, Human Design, intuitive reflection, or other complementary practices into therapy—or maybe none of that is your thing.
Either is completely okay.
Those practices are always optional and guided by your interests, beliefs, comfort level, and goals.
We might not be the right fit if...
You’re looking for a therapist who will tell you exactly what to do, give you all the answers, or decide who you should become.
That’s not really how I work.
I’ll offer ideas. I’ll teach you tools. I’ll share observations and help you look at things from different perspectives. I may gently challenge you sometimes, too.
But I’m not interested in taking over the driver’s seat of your life.
Therapy with me is collaborative. We get curious together about what’s working, what isn’t, what keeps showing up, what matters to you, and where you want to go from here.
You still get to be the expert on you.
You don’t have to know yet.
You don’t need to decide whether I’m the right therapist for you based on a website.
That’s part of why I offer a free 15-minute consultation call.
We can talk a little about what’s bringing you to therapy, what you’re hoping for, and what you’re looking for in a therapist. You can ask questions, get a feel for me, and we can both consider whether working together seems like a good fit.
And if it does?
We’ll take it from there.
