In envisioning my ideal client, I see someone who embodies resilience and courage in the face of adversity. This client may identify as LGBTQI, neurodivergent, or both, and they may be grappling with the aftermath of trauma while also struggling with issues related to sex addiction. Their experiences have likely been complex and multifaceted, and they may be seeking support to navigate the intersections of their identities and the challenges they face. They may be yearning for a safe space where they can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences without fear of judgment or discrimination.
I customize a tailored approach to each clients individuals needs. Using evidence-based, science-supported techniques, I will help you develop a plan to deal with any problem that comes your way. These approaches include EMDR, CBT, client centered, strength based, and mindfulness..
I'm here to listen and support you. Your experiences matter. Reach out to me, and together, we'll navigate your journey with compassion and understanding.
