Hi there! Good for you for looking for a therapist :) I encourage you to do consultations or sessions with multiple therapists. You'll quickly see that we're vastly different. Remember grade school teachers? They could make or break a class, and maybe there were only a few you really connected with. Also true for therapy! So book at least a few consults and sessions; the search itself can be therapeutic. Two major things to look for are emotional safety ("Can share things without feeling judged?") and resonance ("Do they get me?"). Most importantly, practice trusting your intuition.
See you if you resonate with some themes that come up often in my sessions: 1) The body knows what needs to be done. But tension clouds clarity. So first, relax. 2) Meaning is experientially created, not mentally solved or universally assigned. 3) Shame's power comes from its mask. 4) Acceptance allows trust, trust allows play, and play allows growth.
Therapy is a space to play and experiment with creativity, deep introspection, and authenticity. Our work is to help you gently reparent your inner children, saboteurs, and managers so that they trust each other and work in alignment. If this sounds good to you, send me an email. We can start with a brief consultation or launch right into a session or two.
