I believe that from a young age, we find ways to navigate and survive the world around us. However, sometimes the tools we’ve developed in the past no longer serve us in our current situation and can lead to distress. By gaining a better understanding of ourselves and embracing our strengths, we’re better equipped to develop adequate and effective skills to navigate both internal and external challenges that come our way! I have experience working in settings that have allowed me to meet and work with people with different challenges, backgrounds, and experiences!
I'm passionate about working with people in the LGBTQIA+ community, those who are experiencing crises, and those with persistent symptoms of mood and anxiety disorders. I utilize evidence-based interventions rooted in cognitive-behavioral, dialectical behavioral, and solution-focused therapy while also considering your unique worldview!
I understand how challenging it can be to take the first step and there may be a lot of emotions attached to this experience. I will be by your side through this process and help you feel heard and validated along the way. I strive to be an inclusive, non-judgmental, and safe person for you on your journey!
