LGBTQ-identifying and affirming therapist based in Rochester NY.
If you have been in a helping profession and are recognizing you are drained, therapy is a great way to reconnect with yourself and your passion for helping others. I have a strong compassion for people in helping professions having been in them my whole career. As a former clergy person I know how painful faith and religion can be for some while also recognizing and appreciating its value in the therapy process for others. Having worked through my own hurts with religion and faith I am willing to process that hurt and hold compassion and empathy for you as you heal.
Therapy is a place to be intentional and patient with ourselves as we let go of past hurts, traumas, and patterns that no longer serve us. I take a person-centered, trauma-informed, and strengths-based approach. I help you notice where you feel stuck, explore old patterns that no longer serve you, and cultivate new ways of being.
My goal is to create an environment where you can be heard, validated, and supported while exploring who you truly want to be and how you want to live. Together, we can remove the obstacles in your life and find a path forward where you can continually become the best version of yourself.
