Above all, I approach treatment through a trauma focused lens and respect for others without judgment.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Therapist who is also a member of the LGBTQI community and a strong advocate for Human Rights as well as the concerns related to the LGBTQI community. I believe that when individuals feel unbalanced they experience more struggles in their lives. The mental, emotional, physical and spiritual aspects must all be given attention so that balance in all facets of a person's life can be more easily obtained. The process of therapy is meant to help guide and encourage the client to address current and past issues that may be causing an individual to struggle to gain personal balance and happiness.

Dealing with the aftermath of trauma and the struggles of mental health can feel heavy. It may feel as though you are completely alone in dealing with the difficulties in your life, but it does not have to feel this way. I work with teenagers and adults who all too often feel alone and hopeless and may have adopted unhealthy ways of coping through substance use or other self-destructive behaviors as a result. I use a strengths-based, person centered, humanistic approach and have been trained in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Taking the first step to address your trauma and mental health is scary, but I can help.

Some of my specialty areas are Anxiety, Depression, Trauma and PTSD, Self-esteem, OCD, Domestic Violence, and Child Emotional Neglect. Are you struggling with self-esteem, self-trust, shame, and guilt, which is why change does not occur? I provide psychoeducation to all clients to help them recognize why change is so difficult and understand how the mind works. An ideal client takes notes and follows through on exercises throughout the week. There are 160 hours in a week, and as a therapist, I only see you 1 hour a week, which means work outside of a therapy session is key to making positive changes in your life.

My ideal client is someone who feels stuck concerning their relationships, emotions, work, finances, health, or purpose. They are looking for an identity outside of parent or worker. They are feeling depressed and hopeless lately. They are the type that is generally anxious, worried, or on edge. Their goal may be to change their life, but they are not sure how. They may have tried a ton of different self-help, spiritual, or healing modalities on their own but had moments where they have started to think it's never going to happen for them. They need to break free of nonproductive cycles and poor choices to change their lives.
