I feel that every client, along with their family or loved ones, processes and copes with adversity, trauma, and mental health issues differently. It is important that I build a strong, therapeutic rapport with my clients in order to create a more comfortable environment for vulnerability. Through building a therapeutic relationship based on mutual empathy and rapport, healing and working through difficult issues can happen! Working with the LGBTQIA+ identifying community is a huge passion of mine, including community outreach. You are safe and loved here, regardless of who you are, how you identify, where you come from.
I am very human. I am not the type of therapist that utilizes manualized treatment from the gate. I am the type of therapist who will see you, hear you, and help you in all of your humanity - the good, the bad, and the indifferent. My primary goal is to help you feel safe, secure, and loved in a space where we can do therapeutic work with one another.
I understand that it can be difficult and intimidating to seek help - terrifying at times. My goal is to make my clients feel accepted and understood while providing unconditional support and validation. I hope to guide my clients on a path toward healing and acceptance of their most authentic selves! Please don't hesitate to reach out with questions!

I work with clients experiencing queer-related issues, some examples: being consistently misgendered/not being respected for who you are, transitioning, discussing gender, societal issues, etc. I also focus on trauma and different anxiety disorders. For trauma, I typically utilize narrative work, but I am flexible! Anxiety? We look at the "why" or "where"(if there is one) & work on coping through.

I won't just throw you into this! I meet you where you're at from a trauma-informed standpoint. I'm going to utilize different types of therapy to tailor treatment to your needs. For example: reframing cognitive distortions (CBT), asking "where does this come from?" (psychodynamic), encouraging opposite action (DBT), and yes, I'll definitely ask about your family(family systems)(attachment) :)

Come As You Are: Queer Neurodiversity Group

Hosted by
Jay Janicki

Have you felt out of place your entire life, didn’t know why, and didn’t know you were queer OR neurodivergent (OR BOTH)? Queerness, neurodiversity, love & inclusion are the most important things to me. This group is special to me as a queer, ADHD’er. I am WITH you! We experience and deal with our emotions differently and even in our environments. This group will be a safe space to unmask, discuss queerness, neurodiversity, and everything that falls under that umbrella (because it’s not just Autism and ADHD) it is so much more. Come join us for support!
