What's My Approach to Therapy?
If you are here, you may be feeling overwhelmed by relationships, anxious in social spaces, or stuck in patterns of needing to stay in control just to feel safe. You might be navigating self-harm urges, intense emotions, or the exhaustion that comes from constantly monitoring yourself or others. If you are queer or trans, you may also be carrying the added weight of not always feeling understood or affirmed. You do not have to navigate this alone.
I work primarily with LGBTQIA+ adults who are struggling with relationship stress, social anxiety, self-harm, and the pressure to keep everything together. Many of my clients feel responsible for others’ emotions, fear conflict or rejection, or worry about being “too much” or “not enough.” My role is to offer a supportive, affirming space where you can feel seen, respected, and safe being your full self.
My approach is collaborative and compassionate. We start by understanding what is driving the anxiety, control, or coping behaviors in your life right now. Together, we work on building tools to manage distress, strengthen boundaries, and create more ease in relationships and social situations. I believe therapy can be both meaningful and human—serious work that still allows for warmth, curiosity, and moments of relief as you move toward feeling more grounded and connected.
