My Approach to Therapy
Life is a continual process of establishing and reestablishing various identities for ourselves, and sometimes that gets messy or confusing…
Sometimes the ways we think and behave become incongruent with what we want and value. Sometimes we have a hard time knowing what we want and value. Sometimes external events or unforeseen challenges disrupt what we envisioned for ourselves and the future. It can feel tricky to navigate issues of identity development, change, grief, loss, anxiety, decision-making, relationship stress, disillusionment, and life transitions alone. But that's what therapy is for.
Therapy with me is an opportunity for you to get to know and understand yourself on a level that you have not experienced before.
In a safe therapeutic relationship, we can begin to understand how historic and present experiences and relationships have shaped your sense of self and patterns of operating in the world. This insight empowers mindful change.
I have extensive experience helping clients navigating the concerns listed below, and hold particular skill in supporting LGBTQ+ clients across the lifespan with concerns relating to sexuality, gender identity, and relationships. Let's connect and begin exploring how I can support you in your process of healing, self-discovery, and growth.
I’ve seen and heard it all…
Well, perhaps that is a bit hyperbolic. However, after years of professional practice in a wide array of settings, I am well-equipped to support most folks with most concerns. That said, therapy is inherently a relationship and it is my priority to ensure you find the therapeutic relationship that feels like the best fit for you, whether that be with me or an alternative resource. If you don’t see what you’re looking for, ask me about it; chances are I’ve supported someone with a similar concern.
