About My Clients
Do you find yourself overwhelmed by anxiety, struggling with identity exploration, or feeling academic pressure that seems never-ending? If you're facing these challenges, I understand its heart-pounding, breath-shortening intensity. My ideal clients are students and individuals navigating personal identity questions and educational stressors. Together, we'll use holistic practices to alleviate anxiety and help you regain control over your life.
My Background and Approach
The tools I'll provide have been honed over years of dedicated practice. My approach integrates person-centered therapy with therapeutic art to help you explore and find relief. You'll gain multiple techniques for continuous support. I create a warm, nonjudgmental environment. With a background in psychology and sociology from the University of Texas at Austin and a Master of Science in Social Work, I address issues from anxiety to exploring gender and sexual identity. We'll focus on the present and how to regain control over your body and thoughts. My experiences at the Kind Clinic and Cap City Kids have equipped me with leading-edge techniques for alleviating anxiety and affirming LGBT+ identities. You’ll gain immediate relief and build long-term resilience. Let’s transform struggles into strengths together.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe in the potential for change and growth at any point in life. Mental health issues often come from unhealthy learned behaviors, which can be unlearned and replaced with healthier ones. My own experience with severe anxiety and panic attacks in childhood has shaped my practice. Through therapy, I gained control over my anxiety, and I aim to help you find that same freedom. I advocate for inclusivity and respect for all individuals, supporting LGBTQ+ rights and participating in community actions and marches. These values are central to my approach. I'm also an avid fan of the Portland Trailblazers, but I welcome everyone, regardless of their sports preferences. If my beliefs resonate with you and you're seeking support on your mental health journey, feel free to shoot me a message. Let's explore and grow together.
