About My Clients
The clients that I work with range and with each individual, it is my goal that this space is one where you feel empowered and safe. Previously, I have worked with autism, ADHD, mood disorders, trauma and high-risk individuals. In this more classic therapeutic role, I continue to treat those populations as well as anxiety, depression, and family/relationship issues. A good portion of my typical clientele is within the LGBTQIA+ community. All clinicians at LHP hold the same value set!
My Background and Approach
I started my career working as a behavioral therapist supporting kids, teens and young adults to learn coping skills as they explored their experience of autism, mood disorders, ADHD, etc. I continued my career working with houseless individuals and continued to work at a high-risk facility teaching, training staff and implementing behavior assessment and planning with the students. Here, we created tools like the Sensory Room so students could choose to use a safe space to de-escalate and talk when they were ready. For the past couple of years, I have transitioned to the role as a Mental Health Therapist, conducting individual sessions with clients, couples and families. I love ACT, Narrative Therapy, DBT, mindfulness and incorporating art into our work when applicable. I have now founded Lionheart and work with brilliant clinicians, more clients and am deep in the community!
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that there is not one approach to therapy. Each of us is so unique and it is a crucial part of this process for us to build our own relationship and for me to learn the language that you speak so our time together is tailored and most effective. We often use the term "do the work" in therapy, and while this process can be challenging, I also believe in playing and exploring. There is joy in healing and knowing yourself on a deeper level. About me: I am social justice oriented and a member of the LGBTQIA+ community. I believe in equality, equity, taking action, continuously learning and being an active part of creating community. I believe in the power of art in all of our lives and personally enjoy writing, dancing and drawing cartoons.
