I am a solution focus therapist who believes in compassion and kindness to all while creating a safe nonjudgmental space for clients to open up about their issues. I am part of the LGBTQ community that knows what family/society discrimination is about. I can help with recommending coping skills to help reduce anxiety, depression, and a range of different emotions. If you want to feel better and promote a healthier you then I can help.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
The first session is usually about sharing how I work, answering any questions, and gathering important information from clients.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have over 10 yrs experience as a therapist with 6 yrs experience in addiction/substance abuse and a life long experience in LGBTQ.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
My clients tend to want change for the better in their life. My clients seek options, coping skills, and a safe place to open up about their problems/ feelings.

My most favorite quote by Dr Wayne Dyer is the basis of my CBT work. “When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.”
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I have many coping skills I created to help a person needing emotional regulation skills when life stressors happen day to day.
Gender-affirming therapy
I am LGBTQ and able to talk about issues surrounding family/society discrimination and how to cope with guilt/shame associated with gender identity issues.
Compassion Focused
I believe each person needs to be kind and compassionate to themselves giving grace for making mistakes.
