YOU ARE THE MAIN INGREDIENT

I like to say that if your recovery and healing were a soup, you'd be the main ingredient.

​

In therapy with me, clients appreciate that they are in charge of their goals and progress, and that I regard them as experts on themselves. You set the metrics by which we evaluate if you are "making progress."

Whoever you are, I believe that you are already capable of profound healing and self-acceptance, and my job is simply to guide you toward that capacity with compassionate non-judgment, insight, curiosity, and, sometimes, humor.

That said, I do particularly well with some types of clients. Here are some examples:

​​

• queer, trans, non-binary, and gender-nonconforming people; people who are questioning their sexual or gender identityrr t, 

• clients who may find it difficult to open up, or struggle to trust

• people who "overthink"

• individuals in non-traditional relationships or non-mainstream communities

• neurodivergent people (autism spectrum, sensory processing issues, ADHD, etc.)

• perfectionists, people-pleasers, and overfunctioners

• people who are very hard on themselves

• clients who identify as highly sensitive people (HSPs)

• people who are introspective; they know what their challenges are, but knowing isn't solving the problem
