Therapy can be hard, and I want to make it as safe and approachable as possible. We all have the potential to be our best selves, and I'm passionate about supporting people through the process of figuring out what that means for them. I treat the person who sits in front of me, whatever they come with - depression, anxiety, a history of trauma, illness, complex family and personal histories. I believe that self compassion and relationship are the key components for any therapeutic relationship.

Past trauma and sexuality struggles seem to be more common that most people believe. Many of us have experienced trauma (and/or sexual trauma) in our past...it is time to escape from that prison. We need more therapists trained to handle these struggles. As a sex-positive therapist I can help you grow and thrive in your chosen environment as you navigate the shifts and transitions we all experience in this life. I also supervise new therapists as they gain experience in this helping profession

As a Queer and Non-binary supervisor I use feminist, mindfulness and strengths-based approaches to supervise from a social justice oriented lens. I also strive to help my supervisees in their own career development— especially as it concerns how to make a good living while keeping therapy accessible within the context of private practice.

My focus is to serve youth and adults through life transitions. I additionally, love working with couples in any stage of their relationship (premarital, committed, or married). I employ a multi-generational approach and strongly believe that the family you were born into effects the person you are today. I also recognize that culture and heritage play into how you create meaning, which is why I take every opportunity to honor this part of individuals, as it is an important part of my identity.

Sometimes life becomes too much to handle. Anxiety builds and depression sets in. Often friends or family don't understand why you feel the way you do. Your Pastor may not have the time to really listen and help you figure things out.

Strength-Based Therapists
How does strength-based therapy work?
During strength-based therapy sessions, the therapist will ask about an individual’s experiences of stress, pain, or trauma with the goal of orienting the client to view themselves as a survivor rather than a victim, and focusing on their strengths rather than on their weaknesses. In framing a client’s personal narrative along these lines, the therapist and client work together to identify existing skills that can be harnessed.
Is strength-based therapy evidence-based?
Strength-based therapy is an evidence-based treatment that has been studied extensively and shown to be effective across domains. The treatment has been found to be particularly effective in helping individuals who are experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and other mental health concerns. Strength-based therapy has been used by therapists to help clients for more than 60 years.
How long does strength-based therapy last?
There’s no precise timeline for strength-based therapy. The duration of treatment depends on the individual’s specific needs and goals and the severity of their concerns. Some individuals may find they achieve their therapeutic goals quickly, while others might benefit from ongoing support and guidance in order to continue progressing.
How effective is strength-based therapy?
Clinical research and decades of practice have shown strength-based therapy to be an effective treatment to improve mental health and well-being for many conditions. The treatment can engender a sense of connection and collaboration between the therapist and the individual, fostering a positive therapeutic relationship. For individuals with narcissistic tendencies, strength-based therapy may be less effective, as the focus on the individual’s strengths may undermine the work needed to honestly assess the challenges the individual faces.
