Well, I’ve procrastinated writing this damn “about me” section for long enough and built up enough anxiety that I’m absolutely positive nothing I write will be good enough. I’ve maybe cried a few times and maybe sought out the various motivation sources and maybe sought out support from my community. I’ve maybe lost sleep over something as small as a professional website and worried about how I could come across to anyone who could see it.

I had a week where I did my “tough talk” and reminded myself of my Grandpa’s favorite descriptor of my mother (“Tough Little Shit”). That didn’t work.

I had a week where I read over various other therapist’s sites and tried to see if I could find myself within their words. That didn’t work.

I had a week where I relaxed and tried to let the universe guide my direction and that led to a rabbit hole of learning about my horoscope. (Virgo, yet I still don’t get it besides I’m apparently organized, analytical and over-think a lot….) That didn’t work.

Then I remembered the quote from Carl Rogers (fantastic therapist, let’s talk about him sometime) that’s on my landing page. “The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.”

So here’s my accepting myself as I am in this exact moment. And then me deciding to share this with you and let you see the humanity in me. It’s hard to try new things. It’s hard to put yourself out there. It’s hard to be human sometimes. And sometimes, the work you’ve done over the past decade allows for you to write out some of your inner workings and invite others to see you, despite the fear.

Let’s work together to find ways to to live the life you want to lead, despite the damn fear.

Oh and some professional parts about me, I work primarily with individuals and couples managing anxiety shit, attachment shit, relationship shit, faith transition shit and family of origin dynamics (see Mom I didn’t say shit too much, so you and Dad can’t get too mad).

I graduated from University of Utah with my Master’s in Social Work and still can’t fathom that I did that damn thing.

And I care really really deeply about my clients and their lives. I want to help and maybe I could help you with what you want.
