Hey there, I’m Clay, a therapist who’s here to support you on your journey through life. I specialize in working with teenagers and young adults, helping them navigate the challenges that come their way. Transitioning through different phases of life can be tough, but I’m here to help make it a smoother ride. I have a laid-back style and love to use humor to make difficult topics easier to discuss. Life can be heavy at times, but through laughter and a relaxed atmosphere, we can tackle tough conversations together. I believe that creating a non-judgmental environment is crucial for genuine exploration and personal growth.
My foremost specialty is working with the LGBTQ+ population, particularly gender-diverse teens and adults. I have extensive training on the topic and offer recommendation letters for clients who are working with a surgeon. I additionally specialize in working with young men exploring their self-expression and managing their anger.
Finding the right therapist for you is like finding the right partner - it's all about chemistry. I encourage you to reach out, even if you're unsure about getting started; and know that you can always change therapists if you feel like we aren't "clicking"! That said, I'm sure we'll work great together and I look forward to meeting you!
