You've realized something isn't right in your life, but aren't sure what to do about it. You try to keep it together and just deal with it, but that's not working so well anymore. Whether it is an issue in your relationships, your job, or school, you find yourself looking for ways to cope that aren't really helping. Maybe you struggle with taking care of yourself and are overwhelmed or exhausted at the end of every day. After trying to be everything to everyone and get it all done, you still feel as if you're failing somehow. We can change what's happening and help get you back on track.
I work with adults to understand themselves, improve communication, and manage painful experiences. Many of my clients are LGBTQIA, and I am a gender, sexual identity, and kink affirming clinician. I am also certified in addictions and view clients holistically, not just their presenting symptoms. This means we look at everything to see the whole picture.
I work collaboratively with you to identify areas of focus and create goals. I believe the relationship we have with ourselves is the most important one of all, yet we often put others before ourselves without seeing the cost to us. Let's transform how you see yourself and the world. For more information, please visit: spectrum-psychological-services.com
