Hi there! Good for you for looking for a therapist :) I encourage you to do consultations or sessions with multiple therapists. You'll quickly see that we're vastly different. Remember grade school teachers? They could make or break a class, and maybe there were only a few you really connected with. Also true for therapists! So book at least a few consults and sessions. Two major things to look for are emotional safety ("Can I share things without feeling judged?") and resonance ("Do they get me?"). Most importantly, practice trusting your intuition; in this way, the search itself can be therapeutic.
Therapy is a space to play and experiment with creativity and authenticity. Our work is to help you gently reparent your inner children, inner saboteurs, and inner managers so that they trust each other and work in alignment. I also specialize in peak performance and the work-life relationship, informed by my previous career as a Google software engineer.
Whatever issues you're bringing in, I warmly welcome all the anxiety, shame, and uncertainty, as well as your curiosity, creativity, and quirks into the therapeutic space. If this sounds good to you, contact me, and let's get started right away.
