Most of the people I work with are told they need to be different than they are. Sometimes they get that message explicitly, always they get that message in the way people treat them. Therapy with me doesn’t aim to make you different. We’ll work to help you navigate the world while being healthy and fully you.
Specific issues my clients are navigating include:
being neurodivergent (mostly ADHD and autistic) and told they need to act like neurotypical people.
being transgender and told they need to be the sex and gender they were assigned at birth.
being deep in grief and told they need to get over it and get back to normal.
I am LGBTQ+, polyam, CNM, and kink affirming. I continuously work to be culturally competent by learning about cultures and social norms different from my own, unpacking my biases and prejudices, and learning about my social location within our systems of oppression. I understand that each of us has many facets to our identity and it is always my goal to understand you as the whole individual that you are.
