I'm here to provide an encouraging experience where you can explore your thoughts and feelings openly while also working towards your goals as you define them. As a provider, I am supportive, validating, and focused on you. Within this framework, I am also honest and direct, qualities I find many people appreciate in a therapeutic relationship. I think of therapy as a tool that can get you to a new way of thinking or out of a rut. Therapy can also be hard work, but that doesn't mean it has to be a hard time. I've been in the field long enough to know how normal having problems is. The people I work with appreciate that therapy can be a place to laugh, cry, and sometimes both at the same time. Life is weird, but having help can help.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Our first time meeting, we have some things (paperwork, talking about expectations) that we have to review. I'll ask questions about your goals and interests, and also learn more about what brought you in. I'll answer questions that you might have and also try to understand more about what you want out of the therapy experience. Consider the first session an opportunity to get to know each other and see if we're a good fit. I let folks decide if they want to continue seeing me, whether it's through regular sessions or more intermittent therapy. There's no pressure to make any decisions right away, and you can think about whether I'm the fit for what you are looking for.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
One of my greatest strengths as a therapist is the ability to listen attentively and pick up on underlying themes or emotions you might not even realize are there. I am always listening beyond the surface level and reflecting back what I hear, hopefully helping you connect the dots in your own story. I want you to feel understood and heard.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I'm probably a best fit for folks who have a cerebral style or want to connect feelings and emotions. I also am experienced in working with queer, trans, and trans-adjacent populations, and I identify as a member of those populations. I have specialized training for those exploring their relationship with gender identity. In past settings, I've worked in poly, ENM, and kink-friendly communities. For those who haven't found past therapeutic experiences fulfilling, I offer a collaborative and client-centered approach that prioritizes your unique needs. Right now, I do not see couples or families.
Gender-affirming therapy
This can be helpful for people interesting in exploring gender as well as those who are seeking documentation for things around gender.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is a common examination of thought processes, behaviors, and the connection in between. People who are engaged in CBT often have concrete goals and want to do specific things to achieve them, including the potential for homework exercises between sessions.
Narrative
In Narrative work, we work together to look at your life, the story, and the ways it has shaped your life. Narrative work empowers you in retelling the story and can also help reality-test for people looking for validation.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
In this brief model, people have a specific problem they would like help to work towards a solution about. This therapy has less deep self-exploration and is most interested in how to fix things.
Supportive
A more traditional therapeutic style, Supportive work is about validation, warmth, connection, and change in a slow way rather than more confrontational work.

I appreciate the approach Judith takes with therapy. Just as clients attempt to find a good fit with their therapist, Judith also poses the question of whether they're a good fit for the client as well. She is open-minded and up front about many things. She also takes the awkwardness out of the session and I find myself smiling and laughing through topics. I hope to continue our sessions in the future because I feel Judith has a lot to offer as a therapist.
