Therapeutic Approaches
Areas of Expertise
my approach:
I take a psychodynamic and narrative therapy approach, believing that challenges like depression, anxiety, and fear stem from our relationships and life experiences. Our work will be unique to you, focusing on areas you’d like to improve for both day-to-day well-being and long-term growth.
A strong therapeutic connection is key to successful therapy. Your goals shape our work, and I’ll help refine and track progress over time. Growth isn’t always linear, but I provide a supportive space for all parts of the process. In our first session, we’ll focus on getting to know each other and making sure you feel safe, heard, and valued. If this approach resonates with you, I’d love to connect and explore working together.
thoughts for new clients:
Many of us are searching for belonging and acceptance as we navigate life’s challenges. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, valued and understood—because you matter. I take a client-led approach, allowing you to set the pace and direction of our sessions. Therapy is a process—one that requires patience and commitment. Real growth takes time, but it’s an investment in yourself that can lead to meaningful change.
ABOUT ME:
I’m 51 years old, gay, and cisgender, and I recently made a big mid-life career change after spending 30 years in the performing arts. In 2014, I lost my partner of 10 years, and it shook my world. That loss set me on a journey to find deeper meaning and purpose, which eventually led me here—to a career where I can support others in their own journeys.
I have a strong passion for working with the LGBTQIA+ community, especially those who have experienced grief, trauma, aging, and the isolation that can come with societal ageism. I also have experience in Veterinary Social Work and truly appreciate the deep connection many of us have with animals.
