Services Offered
I work with individuals, age 18 and up. I am especially passionate about working with queer folks, adults over 65, people experiencing illness or disability, and caregivers. I also love working with people who are new to therapy - it can be weird to open up to a stranger, I get it!
Issues I work with commonly:
Individual Therapy
Anxiety
Depression
Chronic Illness
Disability
Caregiving
LGBTQ+ Identity
Life Transitions
Aging
Difficulty in relationships
Finding meaning & purpose
Burnout
Neurodivergence
I work with romantic partnerships, adult family groups, and caregiver/care receivers. Relationship therapy doesn't have to be a last resort - it can be a powerful way to deepen your connections, explore shared goals, and increase intimacy.
Many relationships I see are experiencing:
Relationship Therapy
Communication issues
Lack of intimacy and vulnerability
Cultural Differences
Difficult family dynamics
Intergenerational trauma
The same fight over and over
