Everyone has a life story filled with unique colors. Each color represents personal experiences, strengths, behaviors, relationships, and our inner world. Sometimes we find it hard to navigate through challenges and to face realities, which are unfamiliar and/or unexpected. Prior experiences may interrupt our current way of interacting, thinking, relating, and managing daily life. Stress contributes to increased anxiety, depression, behavioral problems, and relational issues. Trauma can debilitate individuals, couples, and families creating abrupt internal changes and fears. Grief over individual loss needs to be honored and acknowledged. Change occurs as a direct result of uncovering new insights.

I’m deadly curious about what you want to say but can’t, who you want to be but won’t, and what would unfold out of you if we could together tend to the parts that are hard to bear— without judgment and without a goal for what comes next. There is a reason you have been bottling up precious parts of you. We will explore that reason, that need you had to hold yourself tightly inside. It is from this safer space that you will once again look at the long-hidden precious parts of you, and together we will see how you want to unfold from here. I'm a good fit for authenticity/identity/wounds/therapists/queer folks/over-thinkers/creatives.

Taking a client-led approach to each session, I provide my clients the space to explore their feelings and experiences in a low-pressure, non-judgemental environment so they can come to their own conclusions about how to make change in their lives, then go out and do it with confidence.

I truly enjoy working with clients who are seeking understanding of themselves and wanting to create some change in their lives. I also understand that true intimacy is created from the client-patient relationship, therefore it is tantamount to find the right therapist that you (the patient) feels safe/comfortable enough to say anything that is needed in order to illicit insight/change. I ask that all my clients outline specific therapeutic goals so that together we be clear as to our purpose and stay the course of treatment. I am client-focused and open to feedback since treatment is made for the client.

For as long as you can remember, you’ve had to hide your true feelings. Even as a child, you realized you were different, so to avoid problems, you started to pretend. Now, as an LGBTQ+ identifying adult, you’ve gained a far better understanding of who you are. You’re a rockstar at work, well-respected and accomplished in your field. You have a lovely home and a steady support network. To the outside world, you have it all together, but deep inside remains ignored feelings and insecurity. You want desperately to embrace the real you, but don't know how to begin.
