Common Reasons People Seek Therapy
Much of my work focuses on anxiety, trauma, and grief and loss. Because most humans experience some or all of these throughout their lifetime.
Beyond these core challenges, everyone has their own personal story and struggles. Your experience in therapy will be unique to you and we’ll figure out what that looks like together.
If you feel like you need or want therapy, that alone is a good enough reason to give it a try.
I work particularly well with the following groups*
-
Being queer myself, I love working with LGBTQ+ clients. I connect deeply with their life experience and healing journey. I understand that queerness can mean different things for different people. What matters most is that my clients are fully seen and supported in discovering and embodying their truth.
-
I enjoy supporting trans and non-binary clients in their path of gender liberation–whatever that looks like. I am trained through Brave Space to write letters on behalf of trans clients for any medical interventions they might need. I have been (and continue to be) on my own personal gender journey.
-
The common trait of “sensitivity” is so misunderstood in our culture. Being highly sensitive is a gift. I love supporting people in discovering the benefits of being an HSP as well as learning how they can care for themselves and channel those qualities in ways that feel empowering and meaningful for them.
-
I’m invigorated and inspired by working with women and femmes who are facing opportunities to make empowered decisions for themselves. The social construct of womanhood and femininity can create a lot of pressure and anxiety. I am passionate about supporting women in challenging those expectations and discovering their own truth and meaning.
