Are you tired of repeatedly explaining your unique lived experiences and searching for a refreshing therapeutic space to be heard and understood? Maybe you’ve been exploring your queerness, questioning whether you might be neurodivergent, or facing internal conflict between how you identify and its intersectionality with your familial, cultural, and/or religious values. Perhaps you’ve experienced religious trauma and are looking to incorporate religion back into your life. No matter what you find yourself navigating, I’m here, I’m queer, and I’m glad you found me.

I am effective with men and women, from their early 20's and beyond, who feel trapped in fears, emotional pain, and self-defeating patterns in work and relationships. Usually, when we are emotionally stuck, it is because of longstanding conflicts and problematic interaction patterns, often operating outside awareness. Sometimes we feel too ashamed or confused even to look at these parts of ourselves alone, and need the help of a careful and caring listener to help clarify our dilemmas and to help open more choices, more freedom in our lives.

Life is difficult, is the opening sentence in the book, "The Road Less Traveled" and in so many ways truer words have never been written! Life truly can be difficult and challenging and each person faces unique struggles that can feel overwhelming and often times confusing. What we often need is the opportunity to process and explore the thoughts, feelings and experiences that create feelings of depression, anxiety, loss, loneliness, and fear. Looking at these areas that cause pain or difficulty allows us to open ourselves to the opportunity for growth and change and to move towards living a more full and meaningful life.
