Well, well, well, looks like you stumbled upon my little corner of the internet. Welcome, my dear nerdy friends, to the lair of a therapist who understands your love for all things geeky.

I'm not your typical therapist. I won't ask you how you're feeling and nod along like a bobblehead. No, no, no. I'll ask you what you’re currently playing, your favorite Disney movies, and if you think Star Wars is better than Star Trek. And if you don't know the answer to either of those questions, don't worry, we'll figure it out together.

As a therapist, I specialize in exploring geek fandoms. That's right, I'm here to help you navigate your way through your favorite universes, from Marvel to DC to video games and beyond. Whether you're struggling with social anxiety or depression, or just need someone to geek out with, I'm here to help.

But let's be real, therapy can be boring. So, I promise to make our sessions as entertaining as possible. We'll talk about your favorite fandoms, debate which superhero would win in a fight, and maybe even role-play as your favorite characters (if that's your thing).

Now, I know what you're thinking. "But do I have to be a nerd to see this therapist?" Absolutely not! While my approach may cater to those who are neurodivergent and nerds, I'm here to help anyone who wants to explore their inner geek. So, if you're curious about this whole geek therapy thing, come on in and let's chat.

In all seriousness, I'm here to provide a safe and welcoming space for anyone who needs it. Therapy can be intimidating, but I promise to make it as comfortable as possible. So, come on in, grab a bag of Cheetos, and let's explore your inner geek together.
