“I’ll just figure it out on my own, it's okay.” Have you had this thought? Me too, and it can be incredibly exhausting to always be the one having to figure everything out, on my own.
Hi! I’m Rory, a queer, sober, and disabled therapist who knows what it’s like to have to constantly advocate for what I need–to feel different, unseen, or unsure of where you belong.
As a therapist working with young adults and adults experiencing the unique challenges of balancing addiction and chronic/terminal illnesses, I know, both personally and professionally, what it is like to carry intense social anxiety not just from living with a physical disability but also from figuring out what it means to be gay. It took the support of my community to help me step fully into myself and continue to do so more and more each day.
Therapy with me strives to help you move from, “I’ll just figure it out on my own” to “let’s come up with a plan, see who can help, and get this figured out, together.” This requires me, as your therapist, to learn the many strengths you bring already, understand the ways, your uniqueness and all the parts that make up who you are, and understand the impact your relationships have; with yourself and those you love and care about. Therapy with me is a space where your experiences and stories are not only welcomed, but essential. I use humor, empathy, and truly believe working together with you will help you build confidence and gain the necessary skills to navigate day to day life.
Outside of therapy, I recharge by taking long walks, working on puzzles, and enjoying strategy or storytelling video games.
