Hi! I’m Genevieve (she/her), and I’m so glad you are here.
Finding a therapist is not an easy task, and you deserve to take your time to find a good match. I’m not here to win you over or convince you I’m the best fit for you. I’m just here to remind you of your options. At the end of the day, I’m just a human trying my best to be there for other humans. So here’s a bit about me…
I grew up in the Midwest in a family of 7.
I’m a retired college dance major who still identifies as a mover and groover.
I have a dog who calms my anxiety as much as she activates it.
I am a recovering perfectionist and people pleaser who often feels like an imposter.
I value curiosity and believe in our innate capacity for healing and growth as humans.
I LOVE ABBA and most music… especially when there’s a banjo involved.
Playing games (card, board and video) is my favorite form of socializing.
Ted Lasso is probably, most definitely, my favorite TV show.
I am committed to creating a container of (relative) safety for the humans I see where they can reconnect with their inherent ability to thrive instead of just survive.
If you’re interested in working together or want to connect and see if we could be a good fit, I’d love to hear from you.
