Hi! I'm Zach. Thank you for being here.
I work with folks of all genders and sexualities who are feeling fearful and hopeless right now. I am a neuro-inclusive therapist who supports autistic and ADHD individuals. My clients are often feeling isolated or misunderstood in their relationships. I work with couples who are finding it difficult to communicate their needs to each other, and with parents and their adult children to repair relationships.
I am a trans and queer therapist and my experiences inform my work. I know that we don’t exist in a vacuum, and we are constantly impacted both by our closer social networks, and by what is happening in the world. When we work together, we won’t ignore these impacts or try to disappear the feelings or reactions you have.
The kind of therapy I do is Relational Psychotherapy. It is a kind of psychodynamic psychotherapy, which means that I am interested in all of the stories of your past that make you the person you are today. This is a great modality for folks looking for longer term support and to dig deeper into understanding why hurts and heartaches and loneliness keeps repeating. We will do work beyond just understanding your past. We get to build a relationship as a client and therapist which is an opportunity to experientially learn that you are not alone, that you are important, and that you can rely on others.
