Hi I’m Mide ("me-duh"), thanks for taking the time to learn about me! I prioritize establishing a safe, welcoming environment where you feel invited to express yourself authentically & explore your lived experiences freely. I believe therapy works best when there is room for genuineness, uncertainty, & exploration without fear of judgement. I maintain curiosity & compassion while bringing attention to underlying meaning beneath patterns, internal processes & relational dynamics. Many come to me feeling stuck, seeking answers on how to navigate complex emotions & impactful life events - If you can relate, I may be a good fit for you! I'm LGBTQIA+, kink/BDSM, & ENM affirming & I have experience working with people experiencing a wide variety of concerns related to career stressors (first responders, healthcare workers, mental health professionals, etc.), chronic health conditions, trauma, grief, sex/intimacy, conflict, infidelity, bipolar disorder, PMDD, depression, anxiety, ADHD, & OCD. If you’re unsure where to begin, let's start by having a conversation via email or phone call about what you’re hoping for in therapy. I would be happy to address any questions or concerns, while also giving you an opportunity to determine if I am a good fit for you. All identities & experiences are welcomed here, so I hope to hear from you soon!
