About My Clients

If you are feeling stuck or conflicted, or would like to go deeper to process what you know is holding you back from living fully, I may be able to help. We can explore all of your particularity and weirdness, including things you love and find frustrating or shameful about yourself. All of your identities are welcome in therapy, even those that seem to conflict. Many of the people I am privileged to work with are exploring LGBTQ identities and/or religious faith or spirituality.

My Background and Approach

I specialize in identity and relationship concerns, offering individual psychotherapy to adults across the lifespan from students to retirees. I have particular interest and expertise in helping LGBTQ+ folks and people of all religious and spiritual backgrounds. Each person I have met in the course of my work has been utterly particular, utterly themselves. Beyond help with diagnosis or coping, I can offer you a therapy relationship that makes room for you in all of your wonderful weirdness. With a place to talk it through, you will feel less crazy. You can start being exactly who you are, and see how it goes! I’m sometimes awkward; small talk is not my best skill. However, if you want to talk to me about what is most deeply important to you, I am there. I believe that radical acceptance of ourselves and others is necessary to heal ourselves and our small corner of the world. If you think I could help you live with more integrity, fulfillment, and joy, call or email today.
