About me
I'm a weird, humanistic, authentic therapist who can help other humans who might have questions/issues with their existence (What's my place? How did I get here? What happened to the last xxx years of my life?! Where am I going?). I also help people who might have issues/patterns with relationships, anxiety, anger, sex, and depression.
I'm a bit weird. I offer conversational therapy, where I aim to deeply hear what you're saying. I don't really do the "Uh-Huh...Uh-Huh...yeah, yeah" therapy. Well, I DO do that sometimes, but for the most part, I interact with you so you know that I'm alive and listening to what you're saying. I'll challenge you, too--I don't pull out a sword and yell "En-Garde!", but I'll be honest with you about how I'm hearing what you're saying, which I ALWAYS take as important. I'm a strength-based therapist (and person) and I come into the conversation with you with the assumption that you've got strengths.
