Improve your relationship with yourself. If you struggle with:

You can likely benefit from improving your relationship with yourself. People with anxiety, ADHD or autism, or past trauma are often critical of themselves. It can be difficult to improve your relationship with yourself but it is possible! One of my passions is helping people become more caring and accepting of themselves. If you suspect that you have ADHD or autism, but have not been tested, I am affirming of self-diagnosis. Therapy can provide a safe place for your journey of self discovery.

Improve your romantic relationships. Are you experiencing things like:

If so, therapy to improve your romantic relationship can help. Relationship issues can feel like they take over your life. If you’re contemplating whether or not to end your relationship, or if you want to learn to set boundaries or communicate more effectively, I can help you learn the skills that you need.

Improve your relationship with your family of origin or extended family. If you have found you are:

Then you can benefit from therapy to help improve your relationship with your family. It can be hard to maintain a healthy relationship with some of the people that we love. In spite of those difficulties, most people do not want to be no contact. Most of us want to healthfully maintain some level of contact with our family members. Therapy can be a resource for learning where you would like your boundaries to be and how to begin to set them. If you have family that does not accept you, therapy with an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist can help you process the hurt and grief from loving a family that struggles to love you for who you are.

Distressing religious experiences and spiritual abuse

There are difference words that people use when they have been hurt by their religion or religious upbringing. It may be called:

You may be deconstructing Christianity or another religious upbringing, to try to figure out what you actually believe (if anything). Many people that grew up in Mississippi, especially LGBTQ people, have experienced some form of religious trauma or spiritual abuse. Whether you want to remain in church; change faiths or religions; or are agnostic or atheist, I offer a non-religious, non-judgemental space for you to process and begin healing.

Who I work with

I am happy to work with anyone who resonates with the content here on my website. I find that clients with ADHD and/or autism; as well as women, AFAB, and feminine-identifying people tend to be most comfortable with me. I am affirming of LGBTQ+; polyamory/ENM; kink/BDSM communities; sex workers; and am BIPOC allied. Learn more about therapy with me.

* Please note that I do not work with couples but if you contact me I am happy to provide referrals to couple’s counselors. It is helpful to work with a professional both individually and as a couple when you are working to improve your relationship. For couples that are polyamorous, ethically non-monogamous, swingers, or kink/BDSM lifestyle, I can provide you with a list of safe and affirming therapists and coaches.

 

Talking through what is happening in your life with a trained professional can help more than most people realize.

I am passionate about helping my clients build happier, healthier lives!
