Dr. Hall works with a team that is also available to provide direct therapy and parent training.

I am not currently accepting new clients. Therapy is an opportunity to heal from the past, cope with the present, and discover a brighter future. Together, we can build upon your strengths, process through traumas, and release the limiting beliefs that are keeping you stuck. My approach to therapy is client-centered and strength-based. As your therapist, I will support you with building practical skills, setting healthy boundaries, and channeling your inner confidence to help you thrive.

I work with individuals, families, and/or systems who find themselves 'stuck'. I work from an inclusive and eclectic framework which allows me to work from the outside or join, as needed, to move past the 'stuck' points. I recently took steps towards physical gender affirming transition. Those who have known me these 13+ years in the field will find this a step in learning and growing with me; those who have heard my name as a recommendation will also find this a step in learning and growing. To learn is to grow; to grow is to be alive!
