LGBTQ+, Gender Identity, Family of Origin, and General Identity Expert
Approach to Therapy
In many relationships, connection begins with trust and understanding of one another, and the therapeutic relationship is no different. I believe that the best work is done when you feel comfortable with and known by your therapist. Crucial to this relationship is the awareness that many concerns are not isolated to one issue. Everyone’s situation is different, and I believe that context matters and is important to understanding ourselves and others. In my experience, gaining insight into the intertwining context of our lives can help us better understand our concerns and how to move forward.
