My approach to therapy is meeting you where you are at and helping support you in your journey of life. I offer a safe space to cry, laugh, mourn, and be completely yourself. This space is a place where you will be heard and supported. My role is not to fix you or to impose my views on how to live. My role is to observe and reflect alongside you while I watch you accomplish your goals for yourself or your child. My main areas of expertise are LGBTQ+ issues, anxiety, parent management, emotion regulation, family conflict/relationship issues, OCD, and trauma. I utilize Seeking Safety, CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), ACT (acceptance commitment therapy), Attachment-based therapy, and other therapy tools when necessary. Let’s be real, life can be hard! I know firsthand the importance of having someone to help and support during difficult times. Whether that is learning to cope with depression, anxiety, or wanting to improve your family’s relationship. Support is something we all need, and I would be honored to walk along you during your journey of life *Fees can be discussed when scheduling appointments if doing cash pay. Rate seen on profile is not set in stone, as everyone's financial situation is different, and want to make therapy affordable.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
The first session is really about getting to know you and why you are seeking therapy. It may seem like I am asking a lot of questions, but it's to understand what you are looking for, and if I am the best person to help you achieve your goals. It is also a chance for you to ask me questions and understand how I approach therapy.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I enjoy working with LGBTQ+ individuals. As someone who is a part of the community, I feel I bring not only clinical skills, but personal experience. My other strengths are anxiety, trauma, emotion regulation, parent management, as well as family conflict and relationship issues.
