Courage isn’t the absence of fear. It’s being afraid and doing it anyway. Thank you for having the courage to do the work. You are the expert on your life. Psychotherapy is about working collaboratively to help with the problems you want to address. Common concerns that I help with include anxiety, depression, anger management, relationship issues, and processing past trauma.

I work with those who feel like they're carefully managing their relationships and feeling unfulfilled, over-extended, and chronically flooded by the demands of showing up for themselves. They find themselves in dynamics that are impactful in distracting and painful ways, with much of their effort often driven by a sense of scarcity. In my practice, I seek to help restructure the relationships clients have with maintenance, abundance, and reciprocity in their inner and outer worlds.

Are you hurting so much that you're wondering if living is really worth all this pain? It hurts so bad that it feels physical; you can feel it in your gut. You don't let those closest to you know what's going on because no one gets it; no one can help. Sometimes you feel completely out of place, like you don't belong here. Everything hurts so much and you can't stand it anymore. You keep looking for ways to take it all away. You don't deserve to hurt like this anymore. And you don't have to. It's time to take control of your emotions so your emotions stop controlling you.

As a queer & nonbinary therapist (they/them pronouns), I'm committed to providing an affirming and sex-positive space for queer and transgender clients, and folks in ethically non-monogamous relationships and kink communities.
My priority is to invite clients who have marginalized identities to feel both safe and challenged in my (virtual) office, and to help them build the skills and confidence they need to grow into the version of themselves they hope to be. We will focus on your whole self, your experiences, relationships, and environments, and how these impact your emotions, thoughts, and beliefs about yourself and the world. I enjoy working with adults managing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, identity development, and relationship concerns. My ideal client wants to be challenged, wants to grow, and is ready for the work of therapy and healing.

To do this, I share pieces of my life such as my interest in drawing or Dungeons and Dragons, being a transgender person with ADHD.
My name is Samantha, and I'm a psychologist. I enjoy working with teens and adults, especially those who have experienced intense pain and struggled with their identity. Individuals who trauma, engage in self-harm, have ADHD, and/or identify as LGBTQ+ bring a lot of emotional depth to sessions which can be channeled into growth. One of my favorite parts of being a therapist is watching a client own their story in a way that helps them find fulfillment in life.

My practice is neurodivergent- and gender-affirming, with room for silence, uncertainty, and all the parts of you still finding their way.
I work well with people who are going through transitions, feeling alienated from a sense of meaning, or having trouble mediating the many voices within themselves. People who identify as trans, queer, neurodivergent, or as systems tend to feel comfortable with me. Many of the people I work with come to therapy not only to ease pain, but to go deeper - to discover what stories they are living and who they are becoming. I often describe this as a kind of modern alchemy: a process that takes the raw material of experience and, through reflection and imagination, slowly transforms it into something more integrated and alive.

As a queer, non-binary therapist, my work emphasizes creating a space for other voices and individuals on the gender and sexuality spectrums.

I have lived experience with these conditions and want every person to feel heard, seen, and believed.

Life can sometimes feel overwhelming or painful. You may appear “successful” on the outside while struggling with anxiety or depression underneath. If you’re a queer or BIPOC person, it can be unsettling to live in a climate that politicizes your identities. If you’re neurodivergent, life may feel set to “hard mode,” exhausting yourself trying to fit someone else’s mold. Over time, these pressures or past traumas can keep you in survival mode, making it hard to imagine a life beyond coping. In therapy, we’ll honor what you’ve lived through while helping you move toward a life that is more compassionate, honest, and truly your own.

Transgender Therapists
As a gender-diverse individual, why might I want to see a therapist who is also gender diverse?
A trans or gender-diverse client may want to see a therapist who is also trans or gender diverse because the client may feel safer sharing their experiences and more confident that the therapist will understand, validate, and support them. But trans or gender-diverse clients can also benefit from therapy with cisgender therapists; this is a personal decision based on the connection between the client and the therapist, and if that connection is strong, therapy will be successful.
What if I cannot find a therapist who shares my gender identity?
Therapy can still be effective if a therapist does not share a client’s gender identity; a large body of research indicates that the most important factor in successful therapy is the therapeutic alliance. A therapist can also be interviewed for sensitivity and competence on gender identity and expression to ensure they possess appropriate knowledge and skills. Many therapists have excellent training and extensive experience working with gender-diverse clients, and that expertise can be invaluable despite a therapist not sharing the same firsthand experiences.
How can I recognize a good therapist for working with gender-diverse clients?
An experienced therapist should be able to help clients explore their gender identity and expression, alleviate discomfort related to their gender identity, treat mental health challenges and trauma, address existing relationships and communication with family members and loved ones, and determine the next steps pertaining to nonmedical or medical gender-affirming interventions. To recognize a good therapist, clients can ask about these topics and explore their comfort and connection with the clinician.
How might I inquire about a therapist’s experience working with transgender clients?
Clients should feel comfortable asking therapists directly about their experience working with transgender or gender-diverse clientele. For example, clients may ask about the therapist’s training and education with regard to gender identity, how many trans clients they’ve worked with in the past, and what sorts of matters were discussed. You may wish to inquire how a therapist specifically supports the needs of transgender clients or clients questioning their gender identity. A good clinician who is nonetheless not the right fit for you is often happy to make referrals to others based on the concerns you articulate in a preliminary conversation.
