I know what it’s like to search for a therapist.
You scroll through directories and websites to find that they all keep asking the same questions, like, “Do you feel like you’re carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders?” or “Do you feel alone as you navigate (insert challenging life event here)?” As therapists, we are in this field because we’re incredibly sensitive to these matters, as cliche as it may sound. However, comfortability and rapport are built on much more than that. Studies show that 30% of therapeutic change is directly related to the strength of the relationship between the client and therapist. So, let me offer some specific vignettes to give you a better idea of whether we might be on the same wavelength.

Do any of these resonate with you?

You and your partner are engaged and want to prepare for marriage intentionally. Y’all are in this for the long haul and know that working on the relationship now will have a huge payoff later

You are familiar with your astrological birth chart and consult it for guidance, and also know how to take responsibility for your actions and embrace a sense of pragmatic autonomy

Growing up, you were told you were too sensitive, but now you accept it as a superpower and are a proud member of The Deep Feelers Club

You eat regeneratively-raised meat, prefer more natural interventions, fantasize about living off the grid, and also appreciate the convenience of using Amazon Prime to get overnight deliveries

You just found out your partner cheated on you and you are on the fence about whether you should tell everyone or take it to your grave. Feeling simultaneously humiliated and protective, you have decided to confide in a therapist (me!)

You are interested in exploring how your mind, body, soul, and spirit work together because compartmentalizing everything doesn’t seem to be working anymore

You are committed to your spiritual development and invested in personal growth practices, and also like to unwind with reality TV (bonus points if you have a favorite Real Housewives franchise)

You are having minimal success in the dating scene and looking to understand why you seem to have most things in your life figured out except romantic relationships

Maybe you don’t actively identify with any of these, but you’re curious about these topics.

Maybe you just intuitively know we’d be a good fit!
