About My Clients
I welcome people of all races, ethnicities, gender, and sexual orientations. People have worked with me to explore things like depression, anxiety, gender identity, grief/loss, life transitions, recovering from infidelity, and more. I specialize in working with trans, nonbinary, and queer-identified clients. I provide knowledgeable support through social and medical transition and provide HRT/surgery letters. I enjoy supporting and educating partners and family members through therapy as well.
My Background and Approach
I use an integrated approach to therapy and treat each client uniquely to meet their own distinct needs. Generally, my approach is attentive, grounded, accepting, and authentic. Bringing my own personality into the therapy room is important for establishing a warm, safe environment for clients to do the same. My goal is to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space that allows for exploration of your identities, history, relationships, and more. I believe each person has a beautiful and unique story. The meaning we place on our stories heavily influence the way we see ourselves and the way we navigate our relationships. I work with clients and their loved ones to explore those meanings and create new ways of seeing the world. Therapy with me is a collaborative and interactive process. I work closely with you to develop the most helpful approach to best support your own unique needs and adjust as those needs change over time.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Therapy should be free of shame and judgment and be a safe space for all. I believe that each and every person deserves to be seen, understood, supported, and celebrated for who they are. I believe that therapy is an important process for everyone to engage in to find relief from their struggles and feel empowered for your decisions, your relationships, and your life. I believe that participating in social justice and other community activities is another important aspect of being a therapist. If I want to create change in a client’s life, I need to advocate for positive change within the systems impacting our daily lives. Outside of these activities, I am a self-identified nerd and enjoy an eclectic mix of hobbies and interests.
