Intro Style Cost More info

Great to meet you!

I welcome all LGBTQ+ folks and strive to create an affirming space for you to let your guard down and be yourself. I use mindfulness and principles from secular Buddhism to help you "let go" and develop inner peace. I also enjoy using parts work to help you heal your inner child.

A bit about my approach to therapy

Using mindfulness, I will help you slow down and become curious about the way your mind works. I will offer you new ways of seeing the world and ultimately new ways of responding to life's problems. Through parts work, I may help you release internal conflicts and become directed by your won Self Energy.

What you can expect from our first session

We will work together to understand your inner world. I am here to walk alongside you as an equal collaborator. I strive to minimize the power differential between client and provider. I will provide a warm and safe space, ask questions, highlight new perspectives, and offer new tools to empower you to make decisions that are right for you.
