Are you looking for something different? Have you tried therapy before and did not feel it was helpful? Perhaps you are looking for a more laid back space to work on substance use concerns and mental health and have found it difficult in the past to find a therapist you connect with. I am a harm reduction model therapist, that aims to help you reach your goals. Maybe you are looking for someone that understands the unique needs of LGBTQIA+ folks. I provide a style that is warm and welcome to all. I believe therapy should be a collaborate experience. Let's see what works best for you! I feel I am an out of the box therapist and I will often show up to session in hoodies or band tshirts. We are all human! The goal is to make therapy comfortable and welcoming. I want to meet you where you are at and help lay the path for growth. Change can happen, sometimes you might need someone to help.
