Some minds and ways of being are less common than others- but not less valuable! As the creator of Spectrum for Life, I provide neurodiversity, L-G-B-T-Q-I-A-P+, and multi-culturally affirming mental health counseling. All of my approaches are trauma-informed. I am here to support you as you navigate challenges related to anxiety, depression, marginalization, conflicts, and other life experiences.
I provide individual and relationship counseling for adults to cope with stress and achieve your potential. You can learn more about my approaches and specialty areas on my website. All approaches are simply tools. I am well-versed in the issues and benefits of each approach. I work with clients to modify all approaches to meet your needs and preferences.
I invite you to experience a safe place to be yourself and to more fully discover your authentic self- to unmask. This involves understanding and addressing real reasons for masking (survival, relationships, and more). We will work together to identify your values and goals and then discuss and choose approaches and skills to help you flourish.
