Being human is fucking hard. You want to feel better, you want to live more authentically but you feel stuck. Trapped in old patterns and relationships; maybe you see the way out but can't quite break through. You've tried talk therapy before with some success, but need to get to the next level in your healing journey. I offer psychedelic integration and trauma informed therapy to help you heal. We'll work together to learn to feel all of your feelings, and be fully human-in all the messiness and beauty that comes with being a person.

I provide a safe environment and support as you make sense of the past and present, build your relationship with yourself, and move into the future. I help with self-esteem, anger, life transitions, addiction (individual and within the family/ relationship), relationship/ interpersonal problems, depression, anxiety, trauma, and LGBTQ-specific issues. I also understand that your story is more complex than can be communicated by a label.

When you have a long history of mental health struggles, healing can feel impossible. This can be especially true for those with a trauma history - trauma manifests in emotional and physical symptoms that can feel too big to confront. However, it is possible to feel better with the right tools and approach. At the heart of my practice is a deep respect for the courage it takes to seek healing. I believe in providing a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space for my clients to explore their experiences and emotions.

I believe that we are all worthy of dignity, respect and love. This does not mean we have not suffered or experienced shame, guilt and loss-for things we have done and things that have been done to us. With you as the guide and me in a support role, I hope we can explore these issues so that healing and peace will occur. On this sometimes difficult and challenging journey, I hope we can get to work together to find resolution and understanding and come to the place where you are empowered to make new and healthier choices. I am currently unable to take on new clients at this time.

I work with high functioning professionals with trauma inducing work and/or previous Traumas. Often, this leads to things like: unwanted habits, exhaustion/fatigue, low self worth, moral injury, compassion fatigue, etc. If you are living a 'successful' life, yet feel you got lost in it somewhere, let's talk! Unfortunately, stigma for mh and sud issues also exists for providers. Coaching is a tool that can address your targeted pain points and produce results - safely, confidentially and with support of a peer with vast knowledge in these matters and how they impact our work and lives (and vice versa).

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.
