Counseling can strengthen your ability to recognize and make choices in your life that align with the person you want to be. I can help you cope with difficult emotions and develop a strong sense of self-compassion and acceptance. I am most passionate about addressing concerns related to anxiety, depression, trauma, and sexual health. A significant portion of my career has been focused on serving LGBTQ+ people and communities, and I pay close attention to cultural factors and the ways in which they impact a person's vantage point in this world.
My approach to counseling varies by your needs and preferences. I practice from cognitive-behavioral (e.g., ACT, CBT, DBT), interpersonal psychodynamic, and humanistic/existential philosophies. I am also trained to deliver EMDR therapy to treat trauma and other adverse experiences.
I know securing help isn't easy, and I hope to make the process as smooth as possible for you. You can schedule an appointment online by visiting my website. Feel free to also send me an email to discuss the possibility of working together. I am happy to answer any questions to help you find the best fit.
