Now accepting new clients for virtual sessions only. Anyone who feels misunderstood, weird, different. Anyone who considers themselves a misfit, or the "black sheep of the family". Those who "don't fit the mold" either because of sexuality, identity, or alternative lifestyle choices. Anyone who has been afraid to try therapy, or has tried in the past and hated it, because they felt judged. Those who need someone they can open up to about things they've always been too ashamed to talk about. Anyone who wants to stop beating themselves up, and judging themselves so harshly for how they get through the struggles life throws at them.
