Empowering Clients: By emphasizing clients’ strengths and past successes, I help them build confidence in their ...

I enjoy living in the corners and at the fringes of what stereotypical therapy might look like. It is important to me that those who are outcasts, quirky, different, neurodivergent, LGBTQ+, and the marginalized feel heard. When we work together, I want you to feel like you matter (because you do). If you like the utilization of tarot and oracle cards, we can incorporate that. If you need resources on affirming places to practice spirituality, we can look at those. If you want to talk about kink ...

They're looking for a true expert that they can actually talk to. I'm a member of PSYPACT which means I can see clients in every state that ...
