Starting therapy is tough - it's important to feel like you "click" with your therapist from the beginning. I focus on developing relationships with clients that are empathic, collaborative, and grounding, so clients can feel comfortable and understood in exploring their concerns and goals in session. I’m committed to recognizing and affirming each client's individuality and intersecting identities, and to supporting individuals in the LGBTQ+ and CNM communities, as well as college students and professors.
I work with adults who have concerns and goals related to anxiety, ADHD, life transitions, trauma, LGBTQ+ issues, communication dynamics, and relationship difficulties. Sessions are based on a foundation of relational warmth to facilitate deeper understanding of experiences and narratives, and to build a sense of empowerment and resiliency.
I primarily draw from person-centered, feminist, trauma-informed, narrative, and/or IFS approaches; but there is not one particular kind of therapy that works for every person. We all have unique strengths and perspectives - sessions focus on identifying ways to create sustainable positive changes given each client's particular context and lived experiences.
