I am not a typical therapist and coach.
I’m very tool driven; I want you to know what to do in between sessions when the sh*t hits the fan and you have confidence in your resources to handle it.

You’ll learn a lot about me during our work, and it’s all in the service of the work. I think the best way to role model vulnerability, humility and healthy communication and effective application of the tools I teach is to show you what it looks like in action.
I connect with my clients on social media; I’m happy to share my life and love rooting on theirs.
I’m gonna challenge you; I’m not just someone you hire to vent to. That’s not gonna help you create the transformation you are seeking.
I travel with my clients; when I lead a retreat, I can be “teacher” by day and hang out with you in the hot tub at night.
It’s taken me time to know how to find this balance, and in the beginning, I knew I could never be a therapist like this. However, I did know that I’d find a way to authentically show up with my clients, offering real connection and vulnerable interactions.
How could I role model healthy relationships if I showed up as the “blank slate” therapists were “supposed” to be?!
Made no sense to me!
So I found my own way. An authentic way.
A way in which I bring my whole self into my work, which allows for greater depth of connection with my clients.
And you know what that leads to??
Greater healing.
Greater insight and growth.
Greater transformation.
Cause isn’t that what people are seeking in therapy?
…to grow and change and transform into a whole, healed, authentic version of themselves??
Problem is, many therapists don’t achieve that with their clients.
Why?
Because many believe that “just showing up” is enough.
I don’t believe that.
I believe showing up is important AND real shifts require time, attention and active work to create lasting change.
The relationships I develop with my clients run deep.
The trust is strong. The connection is real.
It’s not unusual for us to say “I love you” at the end of a session.
I hug them when I see them.
I think about them in between sessions.
I text them when there’s something I want to share and love when I receive texts from them sharing “wins” or, my favorite, pictures of their family.
Many of my clients have been with me for years; or when they take a break, they come back.
It’s not because we aren’t making progress, it’s that our healing journey is never done; each life stage can present new challenges and they know I always have their back.
