Therapy can be a powerful first step in your process of cultivating self-compassion, self-confidence, self-care and greater awareness.
I provide therapy for individual adults (18+), couples, and families of all backgrounds and identities. I am an affirming practitioner and specialize in working with people of diverse sexual orientation and gender identities. Therapy can look different from person-to-person but generally takes place once weekly, once every two weeks, or as frequently as collaboratively determined.
I work with clients with diverse racial, sexual, gender, religious, cultural, and other identities at all stages of identity exploration.
I believe that all human concerns and challenges are rooted in the relationships we have with ourselves and others. Often, we develop a common way of relating to other people that is rooted in what we observe/d in our families and formative relationships. We might begin to notice that our way of relating is impacting our mood(s), relationships and/or the quality of our lives. Therapy can be a safe, uplifting, and empowering space for exploring our relationships with ourselves and others through collaboration.
By establishing a warm, caring and connected relationship with me, it is my hope that you will take risks in identifying new ways of exploring or being in relationships, healing relational duress or trauma, and cultivating a personal value of thriving rather than only surviving.
