About this provider
Clients I Work With
I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, anger, life transitions, stress, mood disorders, and low self-esteem. I work with LGBTQ+ adolescents and adults. I provide individual and couples therapy.
Approach
I practice Person-Centered Therapy which focuses on providing unconditional positive regard to my clients, empathic understanding, being an active listener, and being transparent as a person over having a sterile/professional persona. I also use other other skills/techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and Solution-Focused Therapy modalities. I am in the midst of working towards being DBT certified.
Beliefs & Lived Experience
My passion to work with the LGBTQIA2S+ community, & adolescents & young adults stems from wanting to provide the therapy & be that person I wish I could have had growing up. Being part of the LGBTQIA2S+ community, I strive to make an inclusive environment for all clients that I see. I strive to make a warm & inviting atmosphere, & want to make sure that the therapeutic environment can foster a safe & open place to be able to discuss any matters that are important to my clients. I hope to provide a trusting & nonjudgmental environment to challenge you, while also work alongside you to see the growth & progress that you may be seeking.
Trust, rapport, & safety are imperative to the therapeutic relationship. I want to meet all clients where they're at on their life journey, & work towards my clients no longer needing me as they learn therapeutic skills to navigate their life optimally.
