LGBTQ+
Some people feel on the margins of the margins, and struggle to find a place to belong. From questioning to queer- meaning those who are just beginning to explore their identity to those who have embraced it fully, I offer LGBTQ+ affirming therapy for all sexualities and genders positively and with respect. Your individual identity deserves to be celebrated, validated, and advocated for surrounding sexuality, gender identity, gender expression, and more. Not simply accepted. While your identity will be front and center in our discussions, it also doesn’t need to be the focus of conversations. With your identity in mind, you lead the way.
EMERGING ADULTS
Emerging adults, those who are 18-29 years old, are at a unique point in their life characterized by relative independence from social roles and normative expectations. This is a time of profound growth and development coupled with frequent life changes. Exploration of love, work, and world views shift and change over the course of this stage. Identity exploration and formation and character traits continue to develop. The sense of possibilities can often feel overwhelming and depressing. Navigating how to find your adult self, becoming self-sufficiency, accepting responsibility for yourself, making independent decisions, and reaching financial independence can seem very difficult. You can become the adult you want to be. Let’s talk about it because it doesn't have to be as stressful as you might think.
