Welcome! With twelve years experience, my expertise lies in working on gender expression, sexual orientation, neurodiversity and living with physical disabilities. I am also attuned to socioeconomic differences and minority stress. I will support you in making sense of things, and applying tools to move forward in a way that feels authentic to you. I will also guide you in addressing traumas, substance use, sexual, existential, political, and spiritual concerns. I will celebrate your successes and encourage you during challenging times. I work with your learning style, your goals, your value system and will never ever judge you.
Through a blend of trauma-informed narrative therapy, somatic work, and CBT/DBT, I help you integrate mind, body, and lifestyle. With this blend of therapy, I will help you feel more comfortable in your own skin, make healthy life changes, improve your ability to express your thoughts and feelings to others, set healthy boundaries, and feel more authentic.
My unique interests, neurodiversity, life experiences, and clinical abilities contribute to an openness in my sessions. All humans will benefit from my multicultural/ sociological approach, as that was the focus of my first master's degree (before I got my master's degree in Clinical Counseling). I will say too that I love to laugh, so sessions can be fun.
