This iz Me: The Real Shit Behind How I Do Therapy

Before you scroll further: I’m not your typical therapist. I don’t hide behind jargon or a fake calm voice. I’m a real human who’s been through some shit, learned from it, and now helps others do the same, with honesty, humor, and a little swearing when it fits.

I built This iz Me Therapy on five things that actually matter in this work, the stuff that makes therapy human instead of clinical.

1. Connection:

   If there’s no connection, therapy doesn’t work. When there is, you’re halfway to healing. You either vibe with someone or you don’t, and if it’s not me, I’ll help you find who is.

2. The Therapist Myth:

   Therapists aren’t zen robots. We’re humans who cry, screw up, and eat cereal for dinner. The best ones have lived through hard stuff themselves, and they know how to bring some humor into the room when it helps.

3. The Professional and the Personal:

   I’m licensed and trained, but also real as hell. I used to wonder if I could be both. Turns out, that’s the only way I know how to do this. My sessions mix evidence-based tools with laughter, sarcasm, and straight talk that cuts through the noise.

4. Empathy:

   You can’t fake it. I don’t feel bad for you, I get it with you. That’s empathy.

5. Fixing People (aka Not My Job):

   You’re not broken. I give you tools, humor, and a safe space to figure things out. I don’t pull you out of the mess, I help you find the way through it, with a little laughter along the way when it’s needed.

I do noy do “mhms” and polite smiles. I specialize in what I’ve lived, anxiety, trauma, burnout, real human pain. In session, you’ll get honesty, humor, and language that makes sense. Therapy isn’t about fixing what’s wrong with you, it’s about discovering what’s real in you.

I’m still learning right along with you.
