Message from Celia:

Do you need a nerdy, passionate, queer-friendly, research-obsessed, neurodivergent therapist? I am endlessly curious, love to normalize experiences, help dissolve shame, meet both kids and adults where they are at, and walk with them until they are meeting their own goals. The world can be hard for people who march to the beat of their own drum, and I love to use kindness, humor, and understanding to create a safe place for clients to heal, dream, and grow. "

"I believe healing happens through connection, and I strive to create a compassionate, inclusive space where you feel safe to explore your identity and share your story authentically. I welcome individuals navigating LGBTQIA+ and women’s issues, trauma and religious trauma, and the transitions of perimenopause and menopause. My approach is rooted in Relational-Cultural Theory, with a feminist and multicultural focus, and I believe that building a trusting, authentic therapeutic relationship is an essential part of growth. I also recognize the unique challenges of navigating high-control environments, including religious communities and authoritarian family systems, whether you are considering leaving or learning to build a life beyond them. My goal is to meet you with compassion, understanding, and support as you move toward greater connection, self-discovery, and healing."
