My goal as a therapist is to create a warm, safe, collaborative, authentic, and trusting environment for my clients. I am passionate about working with those who are experiencing challenges with their sexuality/gender identity, sexual self, relationships, self-esteem, and trauma. My clients can expect a genuine therapeutic relationship where all parts of them are welcome.
I have training in anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, grief, depression, LGBTQIA+, sexuality, shame, and trauma. I use a holistic approach with clients, specifically utilizing Internal Family Systems, somatic theory, EMDR, person-centered theory, psychodynamic theory, and multicultural theory.
Seeking out therapy and finding a therapist that best fits you can be an incredibly hard task. It is vital for me to acknowledge the efforts clients have made previous to the first appointment. If you are experiencing any of the challenges above and are looking for a genuine, holistic, trauma-informed therapist, do not hesitate to reach out!
