Individual Therapy
In individual therapy, we can talk about anything you need to bring up. However, there are some things I've had extra training in or things I work with more often than others. If there's something you really want to work on that is not part of this list, feel free to ask what my experience is with that topic.
Some of my specialties include:
grief + suicide loss
Grief can shatter your worldview and leave you questioning things you never thought of before. Suicide loss introduces countless layers of confusion and feelings. From someone who "gets it," it won't feel like this forever. Until then, you can learn to process your experience and focus on healthy coping strategies.
perinatal experiences
Making the decision to become a parent can be incredibly exciting - but it can also be frustrating, disappointing, heartbreaking, and soul-shattering if things don't turn out like you expect. Pregnancy, postpartum, birth trauma - you name it, we can work on processing it and normalizing how being a parent these days is not always a walk in the park.
LGBTQIA+
You are safe with me. I will honor your pronouns and your name. I will not deny your story and can help you rewrite the pieces that will lead to healing. Your story and your life matter. Let's search for ways you can live more authentically in a safe and supported way.
parenting + neurodivergence
Parenting is tough. Throw in some neurodivergence (Autism, ADHD, OCD, etc.) and it can feel impossible. Whether you are a neurodivergent parent or a parent of a neurodivergent child (or both), I've got your back. Let's talk about what makes this difficult and come up with some strategies for you to feel like the parent you want to, and can, be.
I always encourage folks to do a free consultation (with me or any other therapist you're interested in working with) to make sure you vibe well. After all, the best indication of a good outcome in therapy is the therapeutic relationship.
During the consult, please ask whatever questions you have about how I do therapy, logistics, or anything else you feel is relevant to your therapy process.
If you decide to work with me, we'll schedule an intake assessment that will take about an hour (or up to 90-minutes if you are private pay). This is where we'll go over your history and I'll gather as much information as I can to build a good foundation for our continued work together.
After the intake, we'll decide how often we want to meet and then start our regular sessions. Sometimes I'll meet with folks more often at the beginning to get things going and then space out our sessions a few weeks later.
