Individual sessions are 50 minutes in length. I tailor my approach to your specific needs. I provide a safe and supportive space to explore thoughts and feelings and work through areas causing blocks or discomfort. You will gain insight and have more clarity about behaviors that have been problematic and practice tuning in to your authentic self.
Couples Therapy can range from 50 to 90 minutes in length. I help couples to communicate feelings and understand each others' vulnerabilities and past triggers. I assist couples in expressing their needs and listening empathically to increase feelings of connection.
Teletherapy, also known as online therapy or virtual therapy, is an effective and convenient way of having psychotherapy when it is not possible to meet in-person. Psychotherapy online can feel very similar to in-person sessions and unfold in much the same way.
Sessions are conducted online via computer, tablet, or phone using the video conferencing platform Doxy.me, which is HIPAA compliant and encrypted for your privacy and safety. All you need is an internet connection and we are ready to start!
It is essential to work with someone who understands the specific challenges LGBTQ+ face and is familiar with the community at large. Creating a safe, supportive environment is crucial to me. I have experience helping people with a wide range of issues, including coming out as LGBTQ+; exploring same-sex attraction/identification; exploring gender and gender identification; identifying and overcoming shame; dating, and relationships.
