Do you ever feel like you just don’t fit in? Feeling like ‘no one gets you’ and how you process life? I hear this from so many of my clients. One of my goals is to help people feel supported and see their strengths. I am a relational and neurodivergent affirming therapist. I am nerdy and use humor but also focused on growing your skills. I work with teens and adults and have 18 years of experience as a therapist. Therapy should be supportive, understanding, and a safe place to be yourself.
I work in a trauma informed person centered way. I specialize in DBT, ACT, Art Therapy, Narrative, Mindfulness, and attachment based interventions. I am also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma. I specialize in supporting clients with chronic illness, gender transition, and life transitions.
Starting therapy with a new person can be really scary. Its a big step to be your authentic, amazing, messy, wonderful self with another person. My goal is to create space where you can be yourself. I want to walk with you on your path and support change along the way. I hope you will reach out to chat if I seem like a good fit for you.
