About My Clients
I work primarily with adult BIPOC clients from the LGBTQIA community and have also done extensive work with military service members and their families. I understand the struggles that come with being a part of a minority community and recognize the profound impact this can have as we navigate our lives. I will help you work through your challenges while maintaining a non judgmental safe space to process your thoughts and feelings. I will work collaboratively with you on your healing journey.
My Background and Approach
I incorporate several modalities while working with clients from client centered, to solution focused brief therapy and CBT. I also use mindfulness and DBT interventions as needed with my clients. I respect each client's differences and uniqueness and adjust based on the needs of my client. I am continuously engaging in ongoing training and continuing education to stay abreast of the most current treatment methods. If I encounter an area I"m not skilled in working with, I will gladly help you find a therapist that has the specialized training and expertise needed for the issue.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am an open minded, free thinker, that believes in equality for all individuals. I have volunteered with Equality FL and have been working to challenge the homophobic/transphobic legislation that is being passed across our country. I am sex positive, body positive, and support alternative lifestyles. I believe in women's reproductive rights and believe politicians should leave health care decisions to healthcare professionals and their patients. I have also done extensive crisis work and have worked for the suicide prevention hotline. Ultimately I believe in giving a voice to those who might not be able to advocate for themselves. Mental health matters and I'm happy to see an increase in access to mental health services.
