About me
I work a lot with the LGBTQ+ community, including trans, NB, gay, bisexual, straight, pansexual, or asexual. I also help with: domestic violence, social anxiety, depression, anxiety, autism, ADHD, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, relationship issues, sexual abuse, academic stress, trauma, bipolar disorder, hoarding, personality disorders, and work stress. I have a casual approach and I like to let my clients guide their sessions, but if a person doesn't know what to say, I provide questions. Whenever I do have questions, I won't push a person for answers if they don't feel ready to talk about a topic yet.

My treatment methods
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I enjoy using ACT because it uses a person's values as a guide for their decisions. It also uses mindfulness to view situations differently.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is a modality from the 1960s, but some of its concepts are timeless. It teaches people how to address and resolve thought distortions. It also highlights the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I use concepts from CBT often for certain issues, but I don't use it for other things, like trauma.
Attachment-based
Attachment is such an important part of successful and healthy romantic, family, and social relationships. I'm so glad that we're talking about this on social media platforms lately. I like this framework as well.
Cognitive Processing (CPT)
I use CPT to help people to overcome trauma. When someone experiences a traumatic event, it can cause them to question themselves and their worldview. The steps in this model address those beliefs, and test them for accuracy. PTSD is also made worse by avoidance, which is another topic in this modality.
Daialectical Behavior (DBT)
DBT is a great modality. It was originally designed to treat Borderline Personality Disorder, but now we apply it to many things. The basis for this model is cognitive. It can help people who have intense emotions to think more clearly and curb behaviors that might be unhealthy, or even self-destructive.

We have only had one session so far but I do feel genuinely comfortable speaking to her. She was very polite and a very good listener, and was keen on asking as many questions as she could to make sure we were both on topic! I absolutely see myself staying with her and can not wait to see what the future holds
