About My Clients
I have experience working with a diverse group of people including couples, those with trauma, OCD and men. My passion involves working with men's issues and relationships. I enjoy helping men understand their emotions and feel comfortable to express them, allowing them to feel more validated and heard. I also like having a diverse client load where I can reach client's coming in from all walks of life in many different stages of growth.
My Background and Approach
I am trained in emotionally focused therapy, where I utilize this attachment based theory in working with couples and individuals. I am also trained in EMDR therapy and working towards certification. EMDR therapy is a great tool for accessing and reprocessing trauma. I completed my thesis and have conducted research in the area of masculinity and restrictive emotionality in men. I have also given talks on how to get more men into therapy and helping them access and express emotions. I have experience working in a variety of settings including, community mental health, school based therapy and private practice. Prior to becoming a therapist I taught English Second Language classes, which gave me experience in interacting with individuals from all over the world.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am LGBTQ ally that has attended and donated to several events that support the community. I also support the Black Lives Matters movement and look to support underprivileged communities through volunteer work and funding. I believe the most important factor in the success of therapy is the therapeutic relationship and I look to create a strong therapeutic relationship that emphasizes safety, openness and compassion to all.
