Description
I am so happy you are therapist shopping! It’s normal to be overwhelmed at first. The most important thing is to find someone who you feel the "vibe" with. I always say, the most important part of therapy is the rapport you have with your therapist. For this reason, I always recommend scheduling a free phone consultation! A few words to describe my style as a therapist are; open, curious, non-judgemental, and accepting. My job is to help you understand the purpose and function of your nervous system and teach you how to regulate it!

Summary
Hi! I am so glad you’ve taken the step to look for a therapist. A couple words to describe our style are; gentle, nurturing, open/non-judgemental, curious, and accepting. We are not here to tell you how you "should or shouldn't" be living or thinking. Instead, we see our work as a partnership with our clients, where we work together to understand the purpose and function of your feelings and how to manage and regulate them. To get to know our team better, I suggest booking a free 20 minute phone consult!
