A Few Words from Rae

I am a creative, queer, neurodivergent therapist who is LGBTQIA+ affirming and dedicated to working with artists of all kinds. With a background rich in the performing arts, I am aware of the specific mental and emotional trauma and struggles that are often associated with creative work. Additionally, I have experience working in university and healthcare settings, and hold deep empathy for the particular struggles encountered in these environments as well. Often my work is centered around identity, including the different parts of you that may be wounded, need cared for, and are calling out for growth. 


Curiosity, empathy, and creativity are the main things I bring into our therapeutic relationship. I am innately curious about people. It is my belief that each person has their own story which is influenced by their experiences, culture, background, and an array of multi-dimensional components. Throughout sessions, we will utilize an integrated therapy model to empower the exploration of emotions, thoughts, and experiences that impact you. I believe in creating an empathetic and authentic space where you can show up as you are. It is truly an honor to sit with you as your story unfolds.

Couples Counseling

Relationships can be rewarding, messy, sexy, joyful, and…complicated. Whether you are sorting through big life changes or everyday challenges, the support of a couples counselor can contribute to finding security and stability within your evolving relationship. I believe that each relationship, like each individual, is unique, and therefore requires a multidimensional therapeutic approach. In our sessions I will support empathy, honesty, and encourage you to step up as an expert on your partnership. Together, we can tackle issues of communication, boundary setting, emotional expression, and hold space to process challenges and trauma.

 
I am supportive of multiple relationship dynamics, including LGBTQIA+, polyamorous, CNM, and monogamous couples. I often work with people who are childfree by choice/dual income no kids, but also support partners with children. I have unique knowledge of dual dynamics in relationships, including working with or running businesses with a partner. Finally, I love working with neurodivergent people and am happy to explore how neurodivergence shows up in your relationship dynamic.
