LCSW-C, 17 years of experience
Frequently rebooked
I am an energetic, humorous, queer, mother of 2 with 17+ years experience in helping people with mental health struggles. I use an eclectic approach including CBT and mindfulness to help clients deal with symptoms of depression of anxiety. As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community I am most passionate about helping those in the community including those dealing with issues surrounding gender identity.
In our first session I would gather some preliminary information, do a brief introduction and give you the opportunity to describe what is troubling you the most. From there, we can start working on a plan to help you feel better.
With many years of experience working with people with all sorts of trauma and struggles in life I have become really good at helping people find joy and hope in even the darkest parts of life. The use of humor and compassion are my greatest strengths.
I love working with clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression and trauma and would like to learn how to experience more joy and peace in their lives. I love helping those manage the issues that arise from being a part of the queer community.
I use a variety of treatment methods and like to tailor my therapy to individual clients based on their needs.
Identifying negative thought patterns and cognitive distortions is an integral part of my practice. Positive reframing can be a life changer.
Mindfulness and meditation are practices that I love to teach and encourage clients to try. In a chaotic and stressful world, learning to stay in the present moment and ground oneself can be very helpful.
