Do you find yourself caught in a cycle of self-doubt and negative self-talk? Do you feel disconnected from yourself or others? Are you seeking a safe space to process past traumas and heal emotional wounds? Not even sure where to start? I would be glad to meet with you and understand more about what you are seeking and needing in therapy. I support clients existing within the margins of society, facing unique challenges and societal pressures that exacerbate mental health struggles; I work with gender-diverse youth and adults, queer couples, and those with insecure attachments, social anxiety, and neurodivergence.
I bring the use of immediacy to my work. Using immediacy means, at times, I reveal to clients how I am feeling in response to them. This approach focuses attention on the here-and-now relationship of therapist and client with intentional timing in order to challenge defensiveness and/or heighten awareness of patterns of relating to others.
My therapeutic style is honest, transparent, collaborative, curious, and also direct. If you believe that I would be a good fit for you or someone you care about, please don't hesitate to reach out via email or by phone, I offer free 20 minute phone consultations. I look forward to hearing from you!
