About Forager

One year, the student interns I supervised were asked to choose a single word that represented me as part of an end-of-year celebration. They chose “forager.”

I imagine this was partly a nod to my love of harvesting wild stinging nettles to make nettle pesto and my habit of arriving at the office with a handful of berries I picked on my walk over. But I also like to think they chose it intentionally and mindfully because of how I approach therapy. I was thrilled by their choice, and forager has stuck with me as a symbol of my values as a therapist and social worker.

To me, a forager is someone who is curious and experimental, knowledgeable and skillful, resourceful and creative, as well as grounded and helpful. These are the qualities I strive to bring to my clients, my work, and my therapy practice.
