What You Can Expect in Therapy

In our sessions, you’ll find a space where you can:

• Learn about yourself—your gender, identity, values.

• Move through shame, and toward healing and growth.

• Develop tools to handle life’s challenges.

• Find ways to prioritize fun, and relaxation, and to feel worthy of rest and play

• Feel confident in the ways you navigate life’s challenges, and in living authentically.

• Talk openly and explore.

What We Explore Together

• Gender and Identity:
  Let’s explore gender identity, expression, coming out, and all the transitions along the way. Discover your authentic self.

• Decision-Making Challenges:
  Struggling with decisions? By understanding your emotions, we can help you reconnect with your intuitive self and navigate choices with confidence.

• Navigating Relationships:
  Healthy connections are critical to well-being. How are you doing in your relationships? Let’s work on strengthening them together.

• Work and Life Stress:
  Prolonged stress is hazardous to your health. Do you have a stress management plan? Together, we’ll create one that works for you.

• Emotional Intelligence:
  Your emotions shape who you are. By exploring uncomfortable feelings like anger, regret, sadness, and emptiness, you deepen your ability to connect with yourself and others.

More About Therapy with Cappy

Our work together addresses systemic and cultural issues such as racism and transphobia, and how these factors impact our identities, emotional well-being, and relationships.

I consider myself a peer therapist. What that means is that I am open about my experiences and perspective as it relates to your journey and our therapeutic relationship. Having experienced profound benefits of therapy myself, I understand its power to confront personal challenges. My own journey has involved processing grief, managing emotions, and navigating complex relationships. Through therapy, I’ve found my way to self-worth and self-love, which has had cascading effects on my life.

Today, I am grateful for the love I’ve cultivated for myself, which has expanded my capacity to love others. I feel a strong sense of belonging within my communities, and witnessing the growth of my clients is a constant source of inspiration.

About Cappy

Outside of therapy, I love spending time outdoors with my kids and tending to small land projects. I was diagnosed with ADHD/ADD in my 30s, which has explained a lot about how I navigate the world. In recent years I have taken an unexpected interest in paranormal—ufology, cryptozoology, and all things paranormal. I also love playing laser tag and reading about my special interests du jour.

The best things in my life are forests, endless curiosity, learning, working with my clients, and my family.
