I am passionate about work with teens/YAs as they explore and become the adults they want to be, assisting them in setting good boundaries and finding ways to safely express themselves while being and growing into productive members of society. I enjoy working with people regardless of their sexual orientation, gender, family composition, religious backgrounds and beliefs, or schooling choices. LGBTQ teens can have problems related to sexuality but they are more than their sexual identity. I offer solution-focused therapies based on the individual and their needs, not a blanket formula. I offer a safe space and a safe adult to talk to with the education and experience to assist them in making good choices, owning those choices, and communication. I have over 8 years experience working with trans Folx and am comfortable writing letters of support as needed. I am very comfortable in the ENM, Poly and kink worlds, you might have to explain a bit about YOUR dynamic but you won't have to explain what a dynamic is. You will never have to defend the life you chose to ethically live. Finding a therapist that is a good fit for you and/or your teen is essential and can be hard work. I am happy to meet with you to see if we will work well together. I offer sliding scale fees if needed, I accept Tricare, Aetna, BCBS, Cigna and United plans. Please reach out if you don't see your plan listed - it may be on my list of things I am looking into.
