Hi, I'm Greta

I'm the total opposite of the therapists they show on TV or in the movies. You know, the ones who ask, “how does that make you feel?” and only speak in dull voices that would make anyone fall asleep. 

 

I am personable, genuine, and laid-back.  I’m known to those around me as the enthusiastic but warm personality that makes it easy to talk about anything, which makes me a pretty good fit to be a therapist.  

 

I talk so casually during sessions that you’ll feel like we’ve met before.  I’ll ask you about what’s been going on and how you’re experiencing it.  We'll talk about how your much-needed girls night went last weekend, or how far you made it into that book you wanted to read.  I genuinely want to know how you’ve been doing.  I’m not afraid to talk about the hard or awkward stuff, and I’m also not afraid to let you know when you’re limiting yourself.  

 

When you work with me, I help you lay all of the “puzzle pieces” of your life out and then we look at the big picture together.  We’ll look the things that are holding you back and create plans to overcome them.  One-by-one, I’ll help you put all the pieces back together again to form the picture you set out to draw for yourself in the first place.

I help my clients do 3 important things: design their own life, create lasting change, and own their success.  

 

I love what I do because it’s equally challenging as it is rewarding.  I get to meet so many cool people and help them become more confident in themselves and their lives.  I specifically enjoy helping women who struggle with: 

 

  • feeling unfulfilled and not knowing why

  • worrying constantly about what will happen next, or if they're doing enough

  • perfectionism that no longer serves them

  • societal pressures to "do it all", causing burnout

 

I approach therapy with a healthy combination of cognitive / thought work and somatic practices. What you tell yourself day-in and day-out has a huge effect on how you experience your life.  Our thoughts affect the way we feel and the way we behave, so it’s an important starting point for therapy. However, if you've struggled with anxiety for a long time, you've probably realized that your body stores it all and it can manifest in physical symptoms. If that's the case, I always target that first. 

I place an emphasis on incorporating lifestyle change as needed to enhance your outcome. 

I use a “whole body approach”, which means a variety of things:​

​

I'll ask you about your lifestyle behaviors, like how you eat, move, and sleep.

​​

I make it a priority to find which self-care methods work best for you,

and how to incorporate those into daily living. 

​

I encourage collaborations between me and other members of your care team

to ensure that we're all working together when necessary.

​

The goal is healing the relationship between your mind and your body.
