About the Therapist

Hii! Welcome aboard the Mental Space Station.

Let’s be honest: sometimes life feels like you’ve been sucked into a black hole of stress, and your emotional life support systems are flashing red. If you’re looking for a cold, clinical therapist who sits on Earth nodding blankly while you pour your heart out... yeah, that's a different orbit.

But if you want a therapist who is deeply caring, , and runs a cozy, pastel command center dedicated to helping you navigate the cosmos? Permission to dock granted. Kick off your moon boots, grab a plushie, and welcome to your safe quadrant.

The Mission Control Vibe: Cozy, Interstellar, and Very Chill

Think of therapy with me less like a rigid lecture and more like a co-op space expedition. You’re the pilot of your own starship; I’m just your trusty co-pilot (or the helpful Mew hovering by your dashboard) helping you calibrate your navigation controls.

• Warm & Anti-Gravity Chill: I show up as my true, cozy-geek self with my iced coffee in hand, cardigan, and a mental health t-shirt. My office is a judgment-free gravity well where you can let your guard down completely.

• "Chill" Funny: We are definitely going to laugh at the chaotic cosmic absurdity of being alive. I bring a relaxed, lighthearted energy to our sessions. We’ll untangle the heavy nebulas of anxiety, but we’ll also celebrate the tiny wins (even if your only achievement today was staying hydrated).

• Proudly Me, Geeky, & Galactic: I am utterly obsessed with things that bring pure joy, from Animal Crossing and Legend of Zelda to cute space aesthetics. Whether you’re trying to stop your inner critic from Kirby-inhaling your self-esteem, or you're a neurodivergent star trying to survive in a neurotypical galaxy... I get it. Bring your full, unfiltered hyper fixations to the table.

Our Cosmic Flight Plan

We will tackle your mental health using the exact language and metaphors that make sense to you.

• The Level-Up Protocol: Is your anxiety tracking like a wild Pokémon encounter? Let’s study its moves before we catch it.

• Are you completely burned out? Your stamina wheel is in the flashing red and your fuel tanks are empty; let’s figure out how to safely enter orbit, rest, and restock your inventory.

You don’t have to mask here. You don’t have to pretend your orbit is perfectly stable. You can show up messy, overwhelmed, or completely spaced out.

The universe is vast and beautiful, but it can get pretty lonely out there in the dark. Let's upgrade your ship's shielding and chart a course toward brighter galaxies together, one save point at a time.
