Heal. Embrace. Thrive.
We are always growing.
I work with my clients through a feminist and queer theory lens. For me, this means that I look at the whole picture of an individual. I have come to realize that for many, we are creatures of habit. I believe that this often extends to the patterns we display and live out in the multiple relationships in our lives; friends, family, colleagues, partners, classmates, and all those we include in our circle. Although you may begin therapy with me seeking help for a specific concern, anxiety for example, it is important to explore all aspects of who you are.
I will help you recognize relational patterns and dynamics and work to shift, reframe, heal, and repair unhelpful patterns so you can learn to implement new strategies and approaches in all your relationships, allowing you to feel more well-rounded and congruent with your authentic self.
You are the focus.
I believe you possess the strength and ability to move towards growth. I believe you have potential – potential to be your best self, potential for power, strength & resiliency. Sometimes life struggles get in the way of allowing full potential to develop. There often comes a time when an added layer of support allows you to thrive & shine. This is where I can help.
I help you make sense of your life through connecting with your own emotional experiences. I recognize the influence that injustice, oppression & family upbringing can have. I work to frame the emotional struggles in terms of what they are – powerful survival mechanisms that served you well in the past, yet need to be revisited to further grow.
You may enter therapy feeling vulnerable. Through working on empowerment, I help you learn that you are in charge of you life outside of therapy. It is my hope that through therapy, I am able to assist you in living a more congruent, fulfilling, and meaningful life.
Populations Served
-
Transgender Folks
My clinical experience includes people all along the gender spectrum. I support transgender adults through social, medical, and physical transition. You may want to explore whether medical gender affirmation services are right for you or you may be seeking support while navigating your social transition.
-
Non-Binary Folks
I recognize gender identity is an internal construct. As the understanding of gender has continued to expand over recent decades, it makes sense to dig little deeper into feminist theory and the Gender Affirmative Model (Keo-Meier & Ehrensaft, 2018) to explore these ideas further. I recognize and acknowledge that limiting gender to a binary category can be inaccurate, and possibly harmful. I am here to help you better understand your gender identity and support you in your gender journey.
-
Women
Women face a unique set of mental health challenges. I specialize in women’s mental health; including, but not limited to child-free by choice, career advancement and difficulties, relational dynamics, and imposter syndrome. I specialize in working with high-powered women.
Clinical Consultation and Training
We as clinicians have to take responsibility for educating ourselves on the common experiences, and common mistakes, that clinicians and others often make when working with trans, non-binary, and gender diverse clients.
