As a queer-identified therapist, I especially enjoy working with the LGBTQIA+ community and understand the importance of expressing our authentic self in a world that can sometimes be restrictive.
Primarily I have experience treating depression, anxiety, blended-families, teen concerns, grief/loss, trauma, abuse, crisis, and adjustment. With me you’ll get a therapist who is a real human being with you in the room, providing a space where you can be your authentic self free from judgment through compassion, validation and empathy.
Facing life challenges can at times feel isolating, fortunately, you do not have to do this alone. To learn more about me, please visit www.blowfishtherapyinc.com/about
