About My Clients

Feeling like life is fully outside of your control? There is so much going on in the world that can add so much stress to your already full plate. With me, we will focus on how we can re-establish your feeling in control of your own life. I want to help you get to the place where you not only have the motivation for your essential daily tasks, but you feel you have a little extra at the end of every day. Individuals age 14 and up, and LGBTQ and Poly relationships/couples.

My Background and Approach

I have worked with the LGBTQ community for years, including a trans peer support group for over two years. I am very person-centered and collaborative, as I think your therapy should be about YOU. Together we will create a toolbox of skills that will help you attain what you want for yourself and your life, as well as process through what has happened that continues to weigh on your shoulders. I also want to explore where you find joy in yourself and the world. Just as our pain can hold answers for how we got here and where we want to go, our joy can also remind us why we pick our paths and how to build life and routine that are not just tolerable, but something we actively look forward to.
