Everyone has a lens through which we view the world created by our unique experiences, struggles, triumphs, and diverse cultural languages, but so often we feel as if we lack the voice to express our true selves and needs to others. We struggle to find the courage to live authentically in a world that often doesn’t understand or validate our humanity, empathy, and sense of self. As we find self-empowerment, we can come together to empower our families, communities, and ultimately our world as a united whole to meet the challenges we face as human beings. Therapy can help overcome past trauma to help us live fully in the present.
I offer services to ages 10 and up, including individual and internal family system sessions as needed to help individual clients move forward in pursuing their life goals. I specialize in working with LGBTQ+ clients, along with adolescents and adults dealing with depression, anxiety, gender and relationship issues, trauma, grief/loss, and life changes.
I utilize an integrative and client-centered approach combining Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Family Systems, Adlerian, Existential, and Narrative therapies along with Motivational Interviewing to help clients pursue the change and motivation necessary to achieve their personal life goals, and restore functionality to their everyday lives and relationships.
