About My Clients
I specialize in working with people of color and/ or queer folks. I have extensive training in college counseling and helping folks navigate life shifts. I am passionate about assisting people with depression and anxiety since it often comes when we have anticipated and unanticipicated change. I enjoy working with folks who have felt as though others “dont get it” and building up resilience skills for this world we live in.
My Background and Approach
My therapy style is based on person-centered and feminist therapy. We will center your experience in therapy and make sure you are talking/ working on the things that you want. Additionally, we make sure you feel empowered to discuss anything that may be concerning you. Once we have that rapport established, we will explore and understand what is happening for you, so we are on the same page of your true authentic experience. Therapy to me is like a journey we are on together. We will tackle things that are going to be exciting, scary, hard, and fun. However, it is up to you to decide where you want our journey to go. I will always be here to help explore and process things as they happen on our journey. Therapy works best as you having the map to go anywhere you want to go while I am always there to support you in case things do not go to plan.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that we should examine the lives we lead and ask ourselves is this the way I want to continue living, or is there more I want out of this life. Since life happens so rapidly and often without thought for our feelings, I think we go on accepting the status quo without changing it. As a child, I know I did this in my own journey with this life. The curiosity of "what else is there?" has brought me to the therapist world to help others discover and empower themselves. Some fun little facts about me: I am passionate about Pokemon, working out, and eating. I avidly play Pokemon daily and try to walk at least 5 miles a day. Some of my favorite things to eat are desserts like cake, pies, and cookies.
