Individual therapy for adults who are tired of holding everything together
You may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply aware that something in your life doesn't feel the way you want it to.
You may be in the right place if:
You are doing well by most external measures, and it doesn't match how things actually feel
You have been in therapy before and something still hasn't shifted
You grew up somewhere that belonging depended on meeting expectations, and it still affects you
You want support that respects your beliefs, whether religious, non-religious, or changing
Areas of focus
Trauma and EMDR
Sometimes understanding why something is happening isn't enough to create change. EMDR can help process experiences that continue to affect your life, relationships, and sense of self.
Anxiety and perfectionism
The pressure to get things right can be difficult to put down, even after it has stopped being useful. Therapy can be a place to understand where it came from and what it has been protecting.
LGBTQIA+ Affirming
Affirming therapy for LGBTQIA+ adults, with particular depth of experience supporting gay men navigating identity, relationships, belonging, and non-affirming environments.
Religious trauma
Support for adults navigating religious trauma, identity, shame, and experiences in non-affirming or high-demand environments.
How the work usually goes
1
A free 15-minute consultation
By video or in person. Share a little about what's bringing you in, ask questions, and get a sense of whether we'd be a good fit.
2
An initial Assessment
Our first full appointment, and unlike the consultation, a clinical one. We go through what brings you in, the history that feels relevant, and what you'd like to be different.
3
Ongoing sessions
Usually 50 minutes. How often we meet depends on what you're working on and what's clinically appropriate, and it's something we decide together. If you're using insurance, your plan may also affect session length or frequency.
What happens in sessions depends on what you're working on. Sometimes that means slowing down enough to understand a pattern, sometimes practicing something different between sessions. I'm trained in EMDR, and it's one of the approaches we might draw on when it's clinically appropriate and you choose it.
Getting started
You don't need to have everything figured out to reach out.
Finding the right therapist matters, and it is hard to tell from a website. Fifteen minutes, at no cost, with nothing attached to it.
If it feels like a good next step afterward, we can talk about scheduling an initial assessment. If it does not, I am glad to help you think about other options.
