How I can help

© Lucie Sindelkova via canva.com

Whether you're seeking support with trauma, gender identity or dysphoria, transitioning, depression, anxiety, PTSD, or navigating other significant life challenges, know that this is a safe and non-judgmental space to explore and give language to your inner experience.

Individual Psychotherapy

Individual therapy can help us to notice what is not working well in our lives and to identify changes that would lead to improved satisfaction in day to day life. 

 

You may want to make changes to your relationships, your capacity for emotional regulation, your experience of depression or anxiety, or how you are handling a life transition. You may be seeking to explore your gender or sexual identity, and how you want to live as your authentic self in the world. You may be working through feelings that were brought up in you by the gender transition or sexual identity of a loved one.

Whatever has led you here, know that I accept you for who you are. I provide treatment that is collaborative and non-judgmental, and that acknowledges the role of intersectionality and systemic oppression in your experience. If we work together, we will focus on implementing practical strategies for managing current distress, while at the same time exploring underlying unhelpful patterns of thinking, behaving and reacting.

Trauma Recovery & EMDR Therapy

I approach trauma work with a focus on creating safety so you feel able to process what has remained unprocessed in your experience.

 

EMDR is an evidence-based therapy that is effective both for single event traumas like car accidents or assaults, and for long-term traumas like intimate partner violence, childhood abuse or neglect, systemic oppression, or internalized transphobia or homophobia (among others). Depending on how your trauma has been stored inside of you, we will work to redefine your narrative, calm your defensive parts and ultimately come to a place of internal peace.

Gender Affirming Therapy & Transition-Related Surgery Support

Gender is a core piece of who we are, and it can come up in therapy for a variety of reasons. Maybe gender is something that you are exploring, or maybe it has been a source of internal or external oppression in your life. Whatever your gender identity and your focus in therapy, I will provide an affirming space for you to be you.

 

I have extensive experience providing gender-affirming therapy as well as supporting practical and emotional needs before and after transition-related surgery. I provide letters of support that meet insurance standards in order to secure coverage for these essential healthcare interventions.
