THIS IS GONNA SUCK.

but it’ll be worth it.

Change, even necessary change, is uncomfortable, sometimes frightening, and always exhausting.

I help you navigate that change, recognize the difference between uncomfortable and unhealthy, and create a life that you want to participate in.

A colleague once described my style as "belligerently benevolent".

I’m soft and gentle when it’s needed, and skeptical and critical when it counts. That can be a lot for some people, and for others, it’s exactly what they need.

Something Needs to Change.

(You’re not looking for a therapist just for funsies.)

Am I a good therapist for you?
Depends.

Points in Favor:

  • You’ve done therapy before and it felt like a waste of time, or you’ve never done therapy because you didn’t think a therapist could tell anything you didn’t already know.

  • You like knowing why.

  • You may not always be able to find the right words, but you can always find some words.

  • You’re fine with seeing this thing sitting behind me at all times.

Points Against:

  • You’ve never tried therapy before.

  • Something’s just off and you can’t put your finger on it.

  • You expect your therapist to be polished and restrained.

  • You dislike dogs or are highly allergic to dog hair.

  • You are, in general, a very quiet person.

  • You find this plant pot distasteful.
