Practice description
“No matter what you want to explore in therapy, I will listen with empathy, and help you to better understand your experiences and options. My training is in integrative therapy, and my own queerness informs how I think and how I work. I draw on different approaches; our work together will evolve and be shaped by what you need. There are some principles I always hold in mind. One is that you are the expert on your life. I am not here to give you answers, but to work with you to help you connect to your feelings, explore what matters to you, and find a greater sense of freedom and possibility. I have worked extensively with clients who are exploring their relationship to gender, as well as those who want to explore other issues including trauma, relationships, self-worth, life changes and anxieties in a safe and supportive environment.”
