About My Clients
Have you been feeling overwhelmed or down recently? Perhaps struggling with anxiety symptoms or going through a major life change you are trying to process? Maybe you have a limited support system and you are just looking for a sounding board. Let's connect! I work with individuals who are struggling with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, adjustment disorder, traumatic experiences, grief, and relational stressors. I am affirming and have a passion for working with the LGBTQ population.
My Background and Approach
I utilize a person centered, strengths based approach to therapy. My clients can expect me to be supportive and validate feelings throughout session, but also challenge unhelpful thoughts and beliefs as they arise to assist in reshaping negative thinking patterns that lead to continued conflict. I utilized evidence based and trauma informed practices. I believe in creating a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to be who they are. I work to foster an environment where clients can process thoughts, stressors or concerns but also identify strengths and find hope for the future.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that everyone is capable of change and growth. We develop deeply imbedded and maladaptive ways of thinking through our individual life experiences and it takes work to identify problematic thought and actively change them. I believe through learning new skills we can play an active role in changing our unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Throughout my life I have struggled with a lot of anxiety and panic symptoms and through participating in therapy and utilizing many of the skills discussed in sessions, my anxiety has very little control over me now. I am very passionate about working with the LGBTQ population and make a point to participate in advocating for policy change and participating in marches and community actions that support the LGBTQ community.
