I help those who are feeling stuck, trapped, confused & need help making sense of everything that is going on so that they can put it into words and grow. I often work those who struggle with depression, avoidance, rejection sensitivity and self-doubt. I will work with you to build confidence and self-trust so that you can navigate life's challenges with clarity. My practice is trauma informed, anti-racist, sex positive, LGBTQIA+ competent, neurodiverse and gender affirming. I support members of nonbinary, queer and trans community. I also offer gender affirming surgery letters.
I use a strengths-based, neurodiverse affirming, person-centered framework-incorporating CBT, DBT, and trauma-informed care to support identity-affirming growth. I will create a therapy plan with you in each session to help you be accountable in your therapy work each week.
I am highly sensitive and aware to the fact that finding a therapist is a very difficult and personalized process. I will work with you wherever you are at to help you navigate through this process.
Low fee and sliding scale options are also available.
