Individual Therapy

I specialize in working with clients who are questioning/transitioning through a gender transition, clients who identify as gay/lesbian/queer/asexual/autistic/disabled and experiencing social oppression as well as the allies/family members in relationship to above identities.

I work with Queer/non-binary new parents who are processing their own childhood trauma as stimulated by being a new parent. I provide gender affirmation surgery support letters.

Codependent dynamics often start in our earliest family experiences and continue through adult relationships. Our society reinforces codependent messages in countless ways. This can be incredibly burdensome and contribute to a loss of self in our relationships.

Therapy can help us identify if and how these patterns are impacting us and ways to mitigate and reframe old harmful beliefs about ourselves and relationships. Gaining insight and education on codependency can improve our relationships ultimately helping us to feel more connected to our people and ourselves. I have experience supporting clients who have endured spiritual and narcissistic parent abuse.

I am IFS (Internal Family Systems) parts informed and use this intervention for childhood relational trauma which comes up a lot for those who questioned their gender or sexuality in childhood. This involves the identifying of your young and adult protective parts that have good intentions and seek to keep you safe.

The aim is to develop compassion for all the parts of yourself and unburden any parts that are exhausted or could use a new job protecting you in life now. This approach can be very relieving and enlightening for most clients.
