About My Clients

I am open to all — I see gay and straight, cis and gender-variant folx. Whatever is troubling you ― anxiety, depression, relationships, sexuality, identity ― I offer a relationship based on active listening, as well as insight borne of my own personal experience combined with a keen understanding of the social, political, and ecological contexts in which we all exist.

My Background and Approach

Our focus will be on building a healing relationship utilizing a psychodynamic approach that incorporates elements of Cognitive and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, as well as a deep empathy for your pain and personal struggle. In doing so, we will connect your past to the present while charting a course to your future ― a future that you, yourself, wish to see. I emphasize skill-building as a necessary precursor to personal growth, something I find many clients have never had the opportunity to practice. On that scaffolding we will drape the fabric of your new life, enhancing your self-esteem, defeating the existential blues, and helping you make the most of your remaining time here on terra firma.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

My belief system is based on my life-experience as a member of the LGBTQ+ community who deeply believes in the healing powers of: — kindness — compassion — connection between all living beings — strength through diversity — respect for everyone regardless of race, gender, sexuality, or ethnicity
