Community serving Community: Therapy by the Community, For the Community

I enjoy working with individuals who are interested in experiencing a change in their life. Perhaps you want to have greater insight and understanding or perhaps you want to make some really focused changes in your life; I would love to join you in that process and offer support in the journey. I also recognize that pretty much everyone right now is working hard to stay afloat so I am eager to offer a wide array of hours including evenings and weekends as well as telehealth services. The majority of my work involves trauma or struggle in some form. I fundamentally believe those spaces are ones we are intended to navigate with others. I have experience supporting clients through a wide array of experiences as they work towards the life they want. For Trans and gender expansive folx, I use informed consent and self-determination models. I'd love to have an introductory conversation to see what working together might look like. I look forward to your email or call to start that dialogue!
