The Therapist Me

“Everything starts with a relationship."

Our identity is deeply impacted by the interactions we have with others throughout our lives. Each relationship contributes to an internal belief we hold about ourselves & our worth. Holding onto unhealthy, unhelpful, & untrue beliefs can keep us repeating the same blunders, negatively impacting our emotional health.

Healthy relationships and connection can contribute to getting out of that rut. The therapeutic relationship can lead to healing and getting us unstuck. My favorite tools to build this relationship are authenticity, transparency, a healthy dose of swearing, and some humor. Coffee or tea also have a place in the room.

The Personal Me

“Everything starts with Annie.”

Annie is my dog and a huge part of my life. She will be your virtual therapy dog. Owen and Pixel, the cats, are invested in your wellbeing, but from a distance.

I identify as queer, cis female, and White. I spend a lot of time thinking about how the world interacts with me and how I interact with the world based on these identities. I’m open about my lived experience with depression, anxiety, and ADHD, as well as my long term sobriety from an alcohol use disorder, divorce, and exploration in non-traditional relationship structures.

I love to hike, like to knit, and can get down with some true crime podcasts. Dancing in the kitchen to my current music fixation is a favorite pass time.
