Hello there! I am a queer non-binary femme and have over 4 years of experience working with LGBTQIA+ clients, as well as partners and family of transgender individuals. I also enjoy working with clients in non-traditional relationship styles, such as polyamory or long-distance relationships. I can assist in processing religious trauma and figuring out how to meet spiritual needs in new ways. I also have a lot of insight and compassion for men who want to build introspective skills.
I'm very responsive to what each individual brings. Therefore, my clients experience customized approaches based on their level of need and interest. I find helping people talk through issues through Socratic questioning and considering all alternatives leads to much insight. I help clients identify their core values so that they can act in alignment.
If you're looking for a therapist who is thoughtful and supportive but will still challenge you, consider working with me! It is very important to me that my counseling services are improving my clients' lives, especially due to the cost and time commitment. Please note that I am only providing teletherapy to Oregon residents at this time.
