As a queer teen or adult, you feel caught in a cycle of self-doubt or chronic anxiety, struggling to understand your own needs. You've been hurt many times by those who didn't understand or value you, and now you find yourself questioning: Am I worthy? Am I too sensitive? Perhaps you are neurodivergent, such as autistic or having ADHD, and feel overwhelmed by self-criticism or disconnection. You may have past trauma that hasn't been processed, leaving you with lingering avoidance or harmful attempts to self-soothe. If this resonates for you, I'd love to support you on your journey.
Among the therapeutic approaches I use, I incorporate immediacy into my work. This means, at times, I share my reactions to what's happening between us in the moment. This brings attention to your patterns of relating to others, and can challenge defensiveness or increase your self-awareness while building relational skills.
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!
