Tired of educating your therapist on your gender and sexuality? Do you feel like you've had to hide parts of yourself and conform to societal expectations? Have you lost sight of what you truly want after pleasing others? Therapy should be a place to embrace and affirm your authenticity, not educate or conform to your therapist. If you're neurodivergent or dealing with challenges related to your gender and sexuality, I provide an affirming space for you to gain insights into your true self.
I have experience working with clients through a range of therapeutic modalities, including DBT, EMDR, Attachment Theory, and Trauma-informed frameworks. These techniques help clients to uncover and process emotions, develop self-awareness, and achieve personal and emotional growth.
You deserve to thrive on your terms. I believe that everyone deserves a life that is authentic and fulfilling. My goal is to provide you with the tools and support you need to overcome any obstacles in your way. Whether you are facing adversity related to your identity or struggling with other mental health concerns, I aim to provide compassionate care.
