The strength and quality of the therapist-client relationship can predict success in therapy. So, it's important that you find a therapist who makes you feel like coming to therapy is equal parts challenge and safety. I have rejected aspects of traditional ideas of professionalism (for example: you can't have tattoos and still be professional, being a therapist with political beliefs in unprofessional), while retaining the aspects of professionalism that contribute to therapeutic success (for example: having good boundaries, ensuring confidentiality, using well-informed techniques). Put simply, maybe I'm not a therapist you'll take home to mom, but I'm certainly a therapist who can help you work on healing your mom trauma. Currently I'm focusing on taking new clients who meet any or all of the following descriptors: clients who are queer & trans, have OCD & are looking for ERP, polyamorous/non-monogamous clients, working on attachment. While I'm a very down-to-earth person to work with, don't be mistaken. I have trained at some of the nation's most prestigious institutions and bring 15 years of therapy experience and 10 years of private practice experience to the table. Please get
