(she/her)
I am a BIPOC, neurodivergent therapist with over 10 years of experience in community mental health. I am passionate about supporting marginalized and underserved populations. I have experience working with the LGBTQ community as well as the kink and polyamorous communities. In recent years I have discovered my passion for working with neurodivergent adults. Especially those who are still learning to identify their divergent traits and build adaptive skills around them. I also have a diverse personal background and try to use that to connect with a wide variety of individuals.
I will inquire about your goals and your prior experience with therapy. What you liked, what you didn't. What kind of approach you think would work best for you. Then we will set some short term and long term goals.
I try to establish a personal connection with each of my clients and remain flexible so that I can meet their needs to the best of my ability.
If you find traditional therapy too rigid or impersonal, I might be a better fit. If you were diagnosed with ADHD or AuDHD as an adult or maybe you diagnosed yourself and want to work those challenges with someone who will validate and encourage you, we might work well together.
Eclectic
I use a holistic, culturally sensitive approach with elements of CBT, DBT, Mindfulness, Solution-focused, and various other modalities to assist my clients with navigating various challenges and achieving their treatment goals.
