Life presents many circumstances that can be difficult for any person to navigate on their own. We aren’t born with the emotional regulation skills or coping skills needed to deal with the complexities of this fast-paced, high-pressure society. Some days we may be consumed with negative thoughts that hinder us from being who we want to be. Some days we are flooded with big emotions that are hard to control and seem to overpower us. Some days we experience worries that seem so big that it's hard for us to function.

Whether you're questioning your identities, considering about coming out, learning about oppression and liberation, or dealing with the emotional fallout of trauma, you don't have to do it alone. In therapy, we can explore identity and relationship issues, practice effective coping skills, or examine the oppressive systems at the root of inequality, it's up to you and what you're needing! My ultimate goal is to support you in finding stability, joy, and self-acceptance. There's no such thing as TMI in therapy: we can talk about sex, dating, abuse, religion, money, family, and other "shameful" topics without judgment. We can cuss, cry, laugh, share memes, and make darkly inappropriate jokes about mental health. Therapy requires honesty and cutting through the bs; we find healing via authentic connection with others.

Are you neurodivergent and tired of feeling like you have to mask with your therapist? Or are you part of the LGBTQ community and struggling to find a therapist you don't have to educate or who doesn’t make you feel judged?

These are the types of wounds I work with clients to help heal.
