Why Cryptid?
Cryptozoology is the study of creatures whose existence is unproven or outside what science has confirmed so far. Well known cryptids include beings like Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, Mothman, and the Jersey Devil. Like cryptids, there are often parts of ourselves which have yet to be discovered or that we have yet to understand. I believe in utilizing the therapeutic space to gain a deeper understanding of not only who we are now, but how we came to be and the impacts it has on where we wish to go. Cryptid Counseling provides a space to seek the undiscovered parts of you.
The Cryptid Style
My therapeutic approach is eclectic and rooted in a systemic perspective. I view every individual as a collection of many elements—our internal world, our physical selves, our cultural identities, and the societal networks we inhabit. I utilize a variety of evidence-based approaches and techniques to respond to your individual needs. In our sessions, I champion the idea of a brave space over a safe one: our objective is not to dodge distress, but to confront it with guidance and empathy to facilitate genuine transformation. Much like the hunt for Bigfoot or the elusive Loch Ness Monster, we will explore the legendary mysteries of your inner life to illuminate what has long been hidden in the shadows.
