About My Clients
How do you get through the day when it feels like the world is burning down? Maybe you’ve been feeling down for a long time, or find it difficult to tune out the worried thoughts. Perhaps you find yourself feeling overwhelmed, flooded with painful emotions, and don’t know how to cope in a healthy way. Sometimes the world can feel scary and unmanageable, and I look forward to helping you feel more empowered and resilient.
My Background and Approach
I am a nerdy, trans & queer competent psychologist who specializes in using evidence-based approaches to help you overcome anxiety, depression, trauma, or other issues holding you back from living your best life. I work with adults of all ages and have expertise working with college students and young adults. I support those exploring gender identity and trans/gender expansive folks on their transition process. My approach is integrative and collaborative, meaning that we will pull from approaches that best fit your goals and who you are. I blend teaching practical, evidence-based skills along with deeper exploration to catalyze more enduring change. We will explore what’s holding you back from living the life you want and together, develop new ways of moving through the world to help you feel calmer and more empowered to navigate whatever life throws your way.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Everyone holds different identities that weave together to form a unique person. Beyond these normal unique differences that we all share, I believe in the importance of paying special attention to identities that have been historically marginalized or oppressed. My approach to therapy attempts to respect and empower those coming from the full range of racial identities, gender identities, class backgrounds, cultural & national backgrounds, able-bodiedness, and religious & spiritual identities. Some individuals who hold marginalized identities may feel uncomfortable working with therapists who come from a privileged identity. This is valid, and you deserve to feel safe and empowered in therapy. Because of this, I want to be upfront about my own identities if you believe it may impact your ability to engage fully in therapy. I am a white, non-binary, and generally able-bodied person with some personal experience of chronic illness.
