Are you experiencing intense emotions, constantly worried, or too overwhelmed or numb to feel anything? If you are looking for someone who can break down the therapy process and help you understand the "why" behind symptoms and treatments, I am happy to help! My sessions start by building a relationship at a pace that feels safe to you, as you cannot heal if there is not some level of connection. We then build your toolbox of skills that help you manage your day-to-day symptoms. Once we are confident you are ready, we work on the deeper trauma that may be the source of your distress. I treat anxiety, burnout, depression, and trauma (religious, sexual, relational, emotional, CPTSD). I provide an affirming space for autistic, ADHD, and LGBTQIA+ folks, including those seeking gender affirming care. My approach is collaborative - you are the expert on your life, and I am here to support you by providing information about mental health. In session, I bring my experience as a queer, AuDHD therapist to help build a human connection. Outside of therapy, I enjoy traveling, playing board games and D&D, watching Formula 1, or reading. My favorite quote from Anthony Doerr’s, All the Light We Cannot See, sums up my counseling philosophy: “Why else do any of this if not to become who we want to be?”
