Even if you've done this before, it's not always an easy decision to find a therapist. I appreciate that you're taking this step toward finding someone you feel might be a good fit. Therapy is most successful when a person feels some connection with their therapist. I take a down-to-earth, supportive, conversational approach that, especially at first, helps sessions feel comfortable and allows some time for us to get to know each other. I believe how we see ourselves is rooted in our history and that it can be powerful to identify ways we learned to think about ourselves and others. I specialize in working with the LGBTQ+ community on issues of coming out and self-acceptance. My passion supporting people to build self-acceptance doesn't lie with the LGBTQ+ community alone though. Everyone can learn to be kinder and more accepting of themselves! Let's discover ways you learned to think of yourself and how you can change your story. However much you have to say or however big the obstacles you're facing feel, I offer support with empathy, care, and encouragement to help you talk through your thoughts and feelings. I'm happy to schedule a 15-minute call to see if we're a good fit and I encourage you to reach out! For scheduling a call, email is the easiest way to reach me.
