If you are someone who "breaks the mold," or someone who always felt out of place, I am here to help explore that experience. Whether you identify as LGBTQ+, Neurodiverse, or even a "gamer," you have unique parts of yourself that require an understanding that one size does not fit all. Depression, anxiety, and trauma responses can all be a result of living in a world that might not understand you; I want to create a therapeutic space where you feel safe to be authentically you.
I tend to approach my work from an existential and humanistic model of therapy, and I think it's important to acknowledge from the beginning that you are the expert in yourself. I hope to walk with you in this process offering guidance rather than leading you. In addition to more traditional talk therapy, I also am a board certified music therapist.
I know first hand how challenging the world can be when we don't feel like we fit in. I look forward to hearing from you, and helping you to discover that inner, authentic you!
