My approach

My therapeutic approach is collaborative and client-centered, focusing on understanding your unique experiences and needs. I utilize evidence-based techniques, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), to help you identify patterns and develop coping strategies. Together, we will work on practical skills to manage anxiety, improve self-esteem, and enhance your overall well-being.

My focus

My client focus includes adults, aged eighteen and up, with a strong emphasis on supporting the LGBTQIA community through gender-affirming care. I am dedicated to creating a safe and inclusive environment where all clients feel respected and validated as we work together to address your unique challenges and goals.

My communication style

My communication style is straightforward, honest, and genuine. I aim to foster an open dialogue where you feel comfortable sharing your thoughts and feelings. Working with me feels collaborative and supportive; I’m here to listen without judgment and provide feedback that empowers you to make meaningful progress on your journey.

My journey to mental healthcare

My decision to become a therapist was driven by my significant experiences within the criminal justice system and my personal journey navigating ADHD, depression, and eating disorders. These challenges have deeply influenced my career path, motivating me to pursue a profession dedicated to guiding others through similar struggles with compassion and professional insight.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting collaboratively with clients, starting by understanding their individual needs and aspirations. Together, we identify specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals that resonate with you. We also work on applying coping skills and narrative therapy techniques to help you address your issues outside of our sessions. Regular check-ins allow us to track progress, adjust goals as needed, and celebrate your achievements, ensuring that the process remains supportive and motivating.

My first session with you

During your first session with me, you can expect to participate in a thorough assessment to specify your concerns and goals. We'll work together to find common ground and identify a starting place for treatment that aligns with your needs. This initial session is an opportunity for you to share your experiences and for us to establish a foundation for our work together. My goal is to ensure you feel comfortable and supported as we begin this journey.
