Are you having difficulty adjusting to a new environment, relationship, identity, or phase of life? Do you overanalyze social interactions or struggle to connect with others? Are you navigating your sexual orientation/gender identity? I have been a practicing Licensed Mental Health Counselor for 6 years and have experience working with adults in multiple settings including college counseling, community mental health, private practice, and case management. As a queer-identified therapist, I am fiercely dedicated to working with clients in the LGBTQIA+ community, and affirming of kink and ENM/polyamory as well.
As an integrative therapist, my most important attribute is the ability to help clients feel heard and understood, with empathy and compassion. Everyone has a story. By sharing yours, I can help you make connections between past and present, allowing you to gain insight into patterns, behaviors and beliefs that get in the way of meeting your goals.
If this resonates with you and you are reading my profile, you might be considering asking for help which is the first and often most daunting step. Congrats on making it this far. If my experiences below align with your needs, please feel free to reach out. I look forward to hearing your story!
