I am a queer-identifying cisgender therapist with experience working with a variety of stressors and topics, including depression and anxiety; phobias and OCD; neurodivergence; PTSD; relationship issues; life transitions; gender and sexuality; non-monogamous topics; and grief and loss. My current clients appreciate my straightforwardness and humor, while also approaching concerns with genuine care and curiosity. It can be a really difficult and complex experience to be a human, and I view my role as a supporter and cheerleader as you navigate life's inevitable joys and difficulties.
My approach is direct and honest without judgment or assumption. I believe everyone is doing the best they can with what they have, and my role is to help you gain insight into the internal and external factors that may be causing you distress or holding you back. We are a team; the therapeutic relationship will be one of collaboration and respect.
I am happy to offer a 15-minute free consultation phone call to answer questions and see if we are the right fit. If I feel that your needs do not match my skill set or scope, I will provide you with recommendations and referrals. I currently do not see couples or anyone under 18.
