Accepting clients Last Updated 14 days ago

Hello! My name is Ruth, I'm a Queer, Cis-Woman, and I use She/Her pronouns. Have you found it hard to find a therapist you connect with? Do you need to find someone that is nonjudgmental, empathic, helps you feel at ease, and shares your sense of humor?

As a first generation college student myself, college was a challenge. My therapist helped me through. I learned mental health is as important as physical health.

With over 9 years experience working with college students, I have really enjoyed helping young adults navigate this interesting, challenging time. Have you been told you're "too sensitive"? Are you longing to be seen and understood? Do you need to learn how to communicate more assertively, increase your coping and calming strategies, or explore your childhood or family trauma? Are you questioning your identity, gender, or sexuality?

I am Trauma-informed, Body Positive, Health at Every Size, and Sex Positive. I enjoy working with clients who are members of the LGBTQIA+ community. If you need an assessment and letter for Gender Affirming Surgery, I would be happy to provide this service.

Reaching out is an important first step! We can schedule a 15 minute free consultation to see if we are a good fit. Life can be so much better!
