I am a therapist
who fucking loves my job!

WHY I Love Counseling

I'm passionate about helping others and motivated to make a difference. I'm so curious to hear your story and eager to help you make sense of your world. Some things I understand because I've been there, too. Our work together is not just meaningful for you; this is an incredibly rewarding job for me. Every day I'm constantly astounded by our capacity for resiliency. I am honored to bear witness to both your pain and your healing.

I love the variety of my clients and their life stories; every day is different. This job provides me sacred autonomy and unrivaled flexibility. I cherish the independence of being my own boss.

Loyal Assistant, Pepper

What does all that mean?
It means I use evidence-based, empirically validated techniques and industry standards. But what you really need to know is about me and my style.

Countless research has shown that the therapeutic relationship is as powerful, if not more powerful, than the particular treatment method a therapist is using.

Therapeutic Style

✧ I'm non-judgmental, curious, and compassionate. Clients have described me as both down to earth and direct.
✧ I love to incorporate humor when appropriate. Therapy doesn’t always have to be super serious and formal! But when it is, I'm right here with you. I will hold space for your pain and validate your unique lived experience.
✧ I will hold you accountable and oh-so-lovingly (and gently) call you on your shit!
✧ I will not make decisions for you or tell you what to do. I will help you navigate those things and support whatever choices you make as best I can.
✧ I will empathize, sympathize, educate, and empower.

✧ I genuinely care deeply about each of my clients and feel privileged to bear witness to their inner worlds.
