I have worked with all kinds of artists, from writers to dancers to woodworkers. You may be engaged in an artistic career, or you may view your art as a hobby. You may be in the throes of a number of creative projects or in the midst of a creative block. You may simply wish to work with someone sympathetic to an artistic sensibility.

I have extensive experience working with academics as well, from graduate students to full professors. Some common themes have included maintaining work-life balance, managing a demanding and varied workload, navigating the job market, working for tenure, adjusting to life after tenure, and tackling additional administrative responsibilities and projects as a professor.

You may wish to work with someone familiar with the forms of oppression, both political and personal, that affect the lives of LGBTQ+ people. You may come to therapy for reasons that have nothing to do with identifying as LGBTQ+.

I have particular experience working with those who grew up in homophobic and transphobic religious environments. In addition, I have worked with people of all genders and at various stages of gender transition. Some particular things I can assist with are: navigating the social, professional, and legal aspects of transitioning; finding trans-affirming medical care; coming out to friends, family, and employers; and coping with anti-LGBTQIA+ legislation and other forms of bigotry.

I have an affinity for working with those who feel, for one reason or another, particularly sensitive. Such sensitivity may be in response to social anxiety or shyness, acute empathy, strong emotional responses, or a passionate way of relating to the world and other people.
