I view the therapeutic relationship as a partnership, and find the relational aspect of therapy to be an integral piece in making strides towards meeting the clients needs and goals. Confronting the difficulties and pain in life is often challenging and uncomfortable—as such I strive to create a safe space for my clients to process authentically. I know each client is unique and work to meet the client where they are, with empathy, humor, support, challenge, and encouragement throughout our journey together. I offer services for clients ages 12+, and have experience working with a wide range of clients and in various settings.
I specialize in working with the LGBTQIA+ community, and as a queer-identified therapist, I can uniquely understand the complexities of questioning one’s sexual identity. As such, helping clients navigate the process of acceptance, owning, and loving oneself, through compassion, care, and support in sessions is integral to exploring this aspect of identity.
Balancing direct feedback with empathy and understanding are the cornerstones of how I conduct therapy. Change is difficult, and creating a safe and open space to cultivate a strong therapeutic relationship is essential for moving forward. To better serve my clients, I offer some weeknight times as well as a sliding scale payment option.
