Do you find yourself going through an uncomfortable period of change? Or maybe you’re facing a need for change and feeling overwhelmed by it. Either way, you may be dealing with stress, grief, isolation, or addiction. Additional factors like discrimination burden, caregiving roles, and financial difficulty may make change seem impossible. It can feel safer to live with dissatisfaction than to risk losing the comfort of routine, but avoidance can allow unhappiness to snowball. This can happen at any age. Humans grow and change throughout our lives, which requires maintenance, flexibility, and willingness to tune in to our needs.
I focus on client relationships in order to provide a welcoming space to unpack your inner world, whether in my office or via telehealth. I specialize in working with people who hold marginalized identities such as BIPOC, queers, and those with disabilities. I'm comfortable working with non-monogamy, kink, and nontraditional relationship structures. Be you!
If you'd like to work with me, we will start with a free 15 minute consultation via video call. If we agree that my services are a good fit for your needs, we'll schedule your first session from there.
