About me
Ever wondered why some questions are harder to ask than others? Or why certain thoughts seem to stick around longer than they should? Well, I’m here to dive into the deep end with you and tackle those tricky questions head-on! With a laid-back vibe and a sprinkle of humor, I’m all about keeping it real and adapting to what makes you tick. Together, we’ll navigate the wild world of relationships, kick anxiety to the curb, and plant the seeds for some serious personal growth. And guess what? You don’t even have to leave your comfy couch because I bring the therapy to you online! So, let’s ditch the buzzwords and get real about what you need to thrive. It’s all about genuine support, good vibes, and a whole lot of healing. Ready to dive in and make some magic happen? Let’s do this!
I am a honest, straightforward therapist whose goal is to get you to be honest with you and flourish as a result. I currently only accept patients virtually. I’m looking forward to working with you towards our combined goals of alleviating distress and anxiety.
