Since COVID, things just feel different. My goal is to team up with you- we will identify what you’d like to work on and together, tackle those challenges head-on. I’m here to help you with anything from relationships, work/family stress, sexuality, gender identity, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, panic disorder, life adjustments, or other health bumps in the road. I work with all adults, specializing in LGBTQI issues. I am recently certified in EMDR - basic training (I encourage you to read up on this. Quite a fascinating modality).
I've been that person feeling vulnerable and looking for a therapist and feel overwhelmed with not being able to find the right fit for me. It can be a very disconcerting process. I promised myself that one day I would become a therapist and provide a safe space for clients; a place where one can feel seen and heard,
Life in the post-COVID era can be pretty stressful w/inflation, politics, housing market etc. Once you find a therapist that feels like the right fit, it's great. I encourage individuals to set up an appointment for a free 15-min consultation to ask any questions/concerns you may have prior to booking a session.
