Queer affirming therapy for adults, teens, Couples/Relationship Therapy, LGBTQ+. My individual style of therapy often resonates with those who feel isolated, misunderstood, and lonely. They've been told they're “too much,” “too sensitive,” “intense.”, an "odd duck", a "strange bird". They sense that no one has truly seen them and wonder if there are even parts of themselves they haven’t fully seen. Hiding has become unbearable, but they don’t know yet how to make sense of their complex inner world and experiences. They don't yet know the sacredness of their dissent, their strange feathers, but they sense it's there.
My style with couples/partners work often resonates with those who want to build a robust and authentic intimacy with each other. They want to honor themselves and their partner as full human beings. They want to build a deep level of mutual support and stay emotionally connected, even in the midst of immense difference and disagreement. Yes, it's possible!
I don't intend to “fix” anyone. Your pain is real but you're not broken. I make space for the whole person (mind, body, soul), and all of their story (past, present, hopes). I turn toward the human experience and help others seek their own unique path to true connection with themselves, others, the world around them.
