Do you feel misunderstood or unaccepted? Does it feel impossible to be your true self and be happy? Living inauthentically can lead to pain and make it hard to live a fulfilling life. We live in a tough world that forces people to “fit in” to be accepted. Deep dissatisfaction, sadness, worry and low self-esteem often result from this pressure and can make it feel next to impossible to find a path to joy and fulfillment. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I empathize deeply with these experiences. The great news is change happens and you are on your way, having taken this first step to find a therapist.

Many of us worry that we'll never be found by the world or by another person in the way that we want to be. There is a word for this: loneliness, and I believe it's at the root of addiction, depression, stress, anxiety, and our struggle to feel that we matter. In my first year of training, for example, I worked with refugees and other forced migrants; every area of their lives was impacted by their unmooring. But we are all owed a sense of mattering, and we deserve to feel that we belong.

I adopt a person-centered approach, creating a safe space for self-exploration and discovery.
