About Alethea

Hi. If you’re on this page, you’re likely considering whether or not to try therapy (you should). Or, maybe you’re shopping for the right fit. Congrats on taking that first step. Whether it’s me or someone else, I honor that commitment.

I could tell you facts about my experience and my credentials, but I’m willing to bet that won’t really help you come to a decision. Disclaimer! Yes, I am qualified, but therapy is about more than qualifications. It’s also about the relationship. The focus of our relationship is you and your goals.

We will have hard conversations about uncomfortable topics and I may challenge you, but most importantly, I am here to support you while creating a safe space for you to engage in the process of healing. If you’ve found that in a therapist, you’re well on your way.

Don’t worry about choosing me…
