My Therapy Services

Just as nature thrives in its diversity, each person’s challenges and strengths are unique. While I specialize in helping individuals with gender issues, ADHD, and religious trauma, my practice also embraces and focuses on several other specific needs. Together, we’ll explore your story, uncover your strengths, and navigate the path toward clarity, growth, and self-acceptance.

Whether seeking to overcome anxiety, improve relationships, heal from family trauma, or work through other issues, you don’t have to face it alone. Let’s create a space where you can flourish.

What I Can Help With

Services for a Balanced Life

Life’s challenges can feel so difficult, like sudden storms or perhaps like wandering uncertainly in a fog. But each difficulty also holds the potential for growth. I provide care for many concerns, including:

Gender & Queer Folx

Beyond my expertise in transgender care, I support clients navigating identity, expression, sexual preferences, self-acceptance, and more.

Cultural & Family Trauma

Healing wounds from rigid systems, unsafe cultures, controlling family dynamics, or generational pain.

Anxiety & Depression

Finding calm amidst the storm and rediscovering moments of light.

Neurodivergence

ADHD and other forms of neurodivergence bring unique strengths and challenges. I’ll help you understand and work with the way your brain processes.

Women's Issues

Exploring identity, imbalanced gender norms, empowerment, motherhood, safety through boundaries, and the challenges of navigating societal expectations.

Relationships

Building stronger connections, improving communication, and setting healthy boundaries.

Self-Worth & Self-Criticism

Replacing doubt and self-judgment with compassion, confidence and unconditional self-worth.

Perfectionism

Learning to release the pressure of “always getting it right”, soothing the inner critic, and finding joy in imperfection.

Each of these issues may feel isolating, but you don’t have to navigate them alone. I’m here to walk alongside you.

My Approach to Counseling

Therapeutic Methods I Use

The therapeutic methods I use never replace getting to know you and learning from you what you need and what works best for you. But certain theories create a solid foundation for helping us in this process. Through the counseling work I have been doing for the past two decades, these are the methods I have found to be very powerful when used together:

SELF-WORTH THERAPY

To heal and transform the culturally conditioned belief that you must earn your worth.

INTERNAL FAMILY SYSTEMS THERAPY
To help you connect with all parts of yourself, and reparent the wounded parts.

NARRATIVE THERAPY
To reframe unhelpful stories and author ones that align with who you truly are.

EMOTION-FOCUSED THERAPY
To deepen understanding of how emotions work and what they're trying to tell you.

We will spend our first couple sessions finding the flow that works best for what you are seeking and speaks to your heart. I will bring my years of expertise, but you will also bring what you know about yourself. Together, we can create change that carves a better path, a little each week, like a powerful river.
