About My Clients

Calling all LGBT+, large-bodied, chronically ill & therapist folx who're enduring depression, anxiety, PTSD, & burnout. Intersecting identities, oppression & health issues are so complex. Don't waste your spoons on an ignorant therapist! Therapists are feeling stretched or burned out with converging life & work stress. Others assume we have it handled. It's ok if we don't! FIRST check my website & rates. Smash the consultation button (vibe check!) & lets get you enrolled.

My Background and Approach

Please check my Psychology Today profile for the most up-to-date information. If you're marginalized due to body size, gender identity, sexual orientation, or health conditions, I'll help you get the clarity & skills you need to be authentic, heal & cope. I also provide letters of support for gender-affirming medical care. For therapists, I'll help you feel heard, get relief & feel re-energized at work & home. My primary modality is Person-Centered Therapy; you'll be driving your own treatment. I'm formally trained in CPT for PTSD treatment & DBT. If you need a DBT program, please seek a group clinic. Your individual & group therapy should be under the same roof. As a solo therapist, I use DBT to teach useful life skills. I use a blend of many other therapies to tailor your treatment. I take time to get to know my clients, avoid prescriptive advice & strive to create a safe space so you can process painful feelings.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I (mainly) serve therapists, large-bodied, & LGBTQIA folx with anxiety, depression, burnout, PTSD, & chronic illness. BUT I welcome ALL folx struggling with chronic illness or PTSD to reach out! I believe we all have the inherent ability to grow & solve our own problems. But we don't do it in a vacuum. I think the mixed (or downright unhelpful) messages we receive from loved ones & society can cloud our ability to cope & problem solve. This is especially true if you're marginalized by society or if you're a therapist who is expected to be self-sufficient & invincible. We need to talk to someone affirming who can help us tap into our authentic selves & internal wisdom, suggest skills & refer to resources specific to us. Please visit https://Innateauthenticity.com to schedule your free consultation. I don't take insurance. I accept HSA & FSA cards & provide Superbills. CHECK your benefits. Money surprises are such a downer; let's sidestep that!
