About The Help
"Gio handles the executive presence and the street cred. I handle the crisis management, the schedules, and making sure the wheels don't completely fall off."

By trade, I’m a Clinically Petty Therapist, ok, technically a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. That means I have high-level empathy, precise diagnostic skills, and a penchant for real, unfiltered human connection. I’m tattooed, hilariously self-deprecating, and more than willing to cross a boundary or two if it gets us past the superficial small talk. I will gladly entertain complete, unhinged nonsense—provided it actually brings us closer together.
Around here, I handle operations, manage the schedule, and act as chief negotiator for the CEO’s ridiculously inflated treat budget. He brings the visionary bark; I bring the actual brains, the chaos, and the tea.
Official Title: The Help / Executive Caretaker / Chief Boundary Crosser
Profession: Clinically Petty Therapist ("Yes, I’m taking mental notes on your coping mechanisms. No, this isn't a billable session—consider it a public service.")
Official Diagnosis: ADHD, Anxiety, and OCPD. (A lethal combination of hyper-fixation, impending doom, and an aggressive need for everything to be organized exactly right.)
Aesthetic: Heavily ink-stained, mildly chaotic, self-deprecating, and likely drinking an iced coffee that I've been carrying around for hours.
Connecting over pure, unhinged nonsense Sterile, fake corporate small talk
My main man DiMaggio Joseph Emotional incompetence disguised as "vulnerability"
My tattoo artist Walking behind people who move in slow motion
Laughing at my own terrible choices Boring people who take themselves way too seriously
My tribe, nature, books, and my peace Anyone who disturbs any of my peace.

"Healed doesn't mean flawless—it just means you're wise enough to set your boundaries, laugh at the chaos, and protect your peace at all costs."
Yep... I'm wearing a NKOTB shirt!
Healed my inner child. This is Monnchhichi!
