It’s an outdated idea that you shouldn’t know anything about your therapist and they should be a totally blank slate. That’s not how things work, and of course you may want to know a bit about me and my life in order to feel comfortable and safe working with me.

First of all, I’m a human being and it’s important to me that you see me as one. My worst fear is always that my clients will think I have all everything all figured out and I have all the answers. If that’s what you’re looking for in a therapist, best you’ll be able to find is someone who is faking it and personally that’s not what I’d want in a therapist!

I am a white cisgender woman in my 30s. I am part of the queer, non-monogamous, and kink communities, and have personal experiences with religious trauma, body shame, disordered eating, ADHD, divorce, and parenting. My hobbies include dance, birding, hosting parties, baking, audiobooks (mostly sapphic romance novels), visual arts, gardening, and travel. My friends would describe me as energetic, kind, creative, and fiercely (sometimes aggressively) empowering. I’ve lived in the Athens area since 2009 and currently live in Winterville with my partner, daughter, and my three cats.
