Tired of Therapy That Feels Like a Waste of Time?
You shouldn’t have to walk out of therapy wondering, “What was the point of that?” But far too many people do. I can’t tell you how often I hear, “My last therapist just nodded and listened... but nothing actually changed.”
​
That’s not how I work.
Therapy with me isn’t about endlessly rehashing your past without a plan. It’s about creating real momentum. Yes, I’ll listen deeply—because your story matters—but I won’t stop there. Together, we’ll identify the patterns that are keeping you stuck, and I’ll show you exactly how to challenge them with evidence-based tools that work in the real world, not just in theory.
Fact vs Fiction
Is Talk Therapy Effective?
If you’ve never been in therapy before, it’s easy to imagine something out of a movie: lying on a couch, talking endlessly about your past while someone silently nods. Or worse—feeling like you have to justify your identity to someone who doesn’t truly understand.
​
But real therapy—effective therapy—isn’t about judgment, endless analysis, or sitting with someone who just listens but never helps. It's about learning to live with more clarity, more courage, and more choice.
​
I specialize in working with LGBTQ+ individuals and couples who are ready for meaningful change—not just insight, but actual tools that make life better. My approach is affirming, compassionate, and grounded in what works. That includes evidence-based therapies like Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which are two of the most researched and effective approaches in the field of mental health.
REBT and CBT are powerful because they help you challenge the thoughts and beliefs that keep you stuck—things like “I’m not good enough,” “I can’t handle this,” or “Nothing will ever change.” These methods go beyond just talking—they give you a framework for understanding what’s going on in your mind and clear strategies to shift it. They’ve been shown to be especially effective for issues like anxiety, depression, substance use, relationship conflict, and more.
But therapy with me is never one-size-fits-all. It’s not a textbook or checklist. It’s a flexible, personalized process where we combine proven methods with deep, real conversation. Some sessions will be structured; others will flow intuitively. We’ll move at your pace, focusing on your goals. And we’ll do it together—with honesty, care, and maybe even a little humor to make the tough stuff feel more human.
I offer a space where you don’t have to explain or defend who you are. Where your identity is affirmed, your voice matters, and your growth is supported. Whether you’re here to heal from the past, make sense of the present, or build a better future, you don’t have to do it alone.
This is your space to be real, to be seen, and to start making changes that actually last.
You bring your story. I’ll bring the tools. Let’s get to work—together.
Bridging Worlds: Evidential Mediumship & Healing
Grief often creates a silence so profound it feels like the world has gone still—like the laughter, love, and presence of a loved one has been lost entirely. But what if the bond you shared didn’t disappear with death, but instead transformed? As an evidential medium, I offer not only comfort but clear, specific, and deeply personal messages from those who’ve passed. Through names, memories, and unmistakable traits, I help you reconnect with loved ones in a way that feels real, intimate, and healing.
​
This sacred work has the power to transform grief into peace and reconnection. Mediumship, once seen only as mystical, is now gaining recognition in scientific circles for its measurable impact on healing. Studies suggest it may offer a unique kind of emotional relief that traditional grief therapy can’t always provide. In our session, you don’t just receive messages—you experience the ongoing presence of love. You don’t need to believe in anything; you only need to be open. I’ll hold the space—spirit will do the rest.
