I am a trans and queer therapist and I greatly believe in the power of having a therapist that shares identities or experiences similar to your own! I work with trans and queer youth and adults. Living in a marginalized identity brings many challenges and I offer support, skills, and a systems perspective to navigate those barriers-while also celebrating joy, resilience, successes, and all parts of your identity. I specialize in gender affirming therapy, trauma therapy, and working with historically marginalized folx. My first priorities are safety and trust, so that we can move towards healing and taking up space!

My desire to care for people and improve their quality of life, combined with my own healing journey, are what made me fall in love with counseling. I really believe that we are not meant to face life's challenges alone. Life can be overwhelming, leaving us feeling weary, uncertain, and stuck. But I believe that within every person is a wellspring of strength and resilience waiting to be discovered. Together, we can navigate the complexities of life, untangle the knots of trauma, anxiety, confusion, and hurt, and forge new paths toward freedom and wholeness.

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here. My name is Maddie and I'm an EMDR Trained therapist committed to helping teens and adults gain greater insight and understanding into themselves and the issues they seek to address. I utilize a strengths-based, person-centered approach in my practice, empathically holding space for clients to explore, grow, and self-actualize. I believe in helping individuals cultivate greater resilience through self-compassion and vulnerability so that they can feel empowered to lead their most authentic and purpose-driven lives.

You're here because something isn't working and you are hoping to better understand what is keeping you stuck. I specialize in helping folks struggling with depression, anxiety, complex trauma and disordered eating. Whatever you bring in, our first task will be to work together to find stable ground. We can then approach ourselves with curiosity, exploring the patterns, beliefs, and experiences you have developed to adapt and survive. Ultimately, this work will allow us to interpret the world from a new viewpoint with newly developed knowledge. Through this insight, we move toward experiencing increased peace and potential.

We all get stuck in ruts with relationships, our routines, and at work. Therapy is a space to find the strength to overcome the patterns you are tired of dealing with and reconnect with your values. I work with individuals, teens, couples, and any relationship arrangement. I typically start therapy by working through some of the more burdensome symptoms you are struggling with to give you some relief and tools immediately. From there, our work will get deeper and tackle changing long-standing patterns. If you are ready to work on yourself this way, I hope to hear from you.

There are many aspects of life that pull us away from our authentic selves. You might be feeling lost, confused, critical, or disconnected and hoping to find a way to connect with yourself and others, but not sure how or where to start. Many of us are motivated to explore our identities and life purpose, especially during times of change and transition, and that can be a scary journey. Individual, relationship, and group counseling are great opportunities to allow yourself to actively take a step toward connection and fulfillment.

I specialize in working with couples and individuals facing relationship transitions (divorce, coparenting, platonic partnership consideration, etc.), sexual or relational desire and orientation differences (including kink, non-monogamy, and sexual orientation, gender transitions, and more), sexual and religious trauma (for ex., "exvangelicals" and queer folks with oppression trauma), intimate partner violence trauma, healing from a breach of trust, coming out and gender exploration/transition (one or both partners), and more. I frequently work with LGBTQIA/queer couples and the parents of LGBTQIA+ youth. I do work with youth 14+.

More and more people are having trouble knowing who they are or where they belong in life. What we were taught growing up or what we learn from society doesn't make sense or apply any longer. Because of this, we have difficulties from depression to questioning our own belief system. It may appear as confusion, anxiety, anger, or anything that disrupts our day-to-day life. When we feel this way it is a hurt or loss that is almost impossible to describe. My type of counseling presents people with an opportunity to understand why and how they think and feel the way they do and to go deeper than they could have possibly imagined!

Life is a journey and no one escapes the trials and tribulations that come with living a full life. I believe in hope and I believe in everyone's ability to grow and change to become the best versions of themselves. In a collaborative effort, I can assist in your journey to ensure you have the opportunity to experience your own greatest happiness. I specialize in addictions, trauma, couple counseling, sex therapy, personality disorders, anxiety/depression, bipolar diagnosis, and grief/loss.

Hey y'all! I am queer, Black/African-American and Native Indigenous a part of the Cheroenhaka (Nottoway) Indian Tribe, neuroqueer (autistic), cis-gender, and currently abled-bodied. I am currently a candidate of a masters program and intern therapist.

I believe that therapy can help us to move toward greater self-understanding, empowerment, and fulfillment. I strive to create a supportive therapeutic space in which you and I can collaboratively process through thoughts, feelings, and experiences with openness and compassion. So often societal messages and stigmas can cause us to view our behaviors with shame and judgment, which can lead us to feel even more stuck. My goal is to support you in slowing down, shifting toward curiosity and compassion, and feeling empowered to make the changes that you seek.

Hi there, I'm Amanda! I'm happy you're here and am excited to tell you what therapy with me looks like. Some key takeaways of my therapeutic style are that I offer direct feedback, express my empathy, and uncover the root of client’s issues to guide them toward transformative healing. Clients explain my therapeutic style as disarming, trusting that my direct feedback comes from a place of compassion. I’m passionate about uncovering the root of the client’s issues, believing that therapy is most beneficial when I can develop a secure relationship with my clients and empower them to grow.
