Most of my clients feel "stuck" and are motivated to make change — they just need some support in figuring how to make that happen! Whether it's getting out of a creative rut or finding a way to stop having the same arguments with your partner over and over, I bring creativity and passion into the room to help people find a new way forward. I also particularly love supporting LGBTQIA+-identified clients. As a non-binary clinician, I know how important it is to be able to work with someone who understands the community and some of the unique challenges (and strengths!) it presents.
Many of my clients are creative people: writers, producers, artists, influencers, etc. I also work a lot with identity (especially gender!), and help people feel confident in who they are. With relationships, I specialize in queer and non-traditional couple work, including polyamory and ethical non-monogamy.
If you're looking on PsychologyToday because you want to make a change for yourself, you've already won half the battle. I encourage you to get the rest of the way there: reach out to me and schedule a call to see if we're a good fit. I have flexible hours, and I always get back to people within 24 business hours.
