About My Clients

I have expertise supporting individuals who have undergone traumatic experiences, working with women and girls of color, and working with the LGBTQ+ community. I use an eclectic and humanistic therapeutic approach to best meet the individual needs of my clients.

My Background and Approach

The tools that I'll provide you with are tools that I have been perfecting over my career helping people just like you. I have dozens of them. My goal for you is to have at least five different tools and techniques that you can carry with you at all times. So no matter where you go, you'll always have access to discreet exercises that can quickly create relief. I am compassionate and affirming. We'll work collaboratively to address the things that are bothering you right now. We'll start with what's going on in the moment and how to get control over your body and thoughts. For the past 14 years, my experience has been focused on helping people process their trauma. I have attended trainings that teach trauma informed approaches to provide you a safe space for healing. You'll gain resiliency and will develop coping and mood management technique for your toolbox.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that everyone can change and grow at any time in their lives. I don't believe that there is a limit to human capacity. I think the main reason we develop mental health issues is because they are unhealthy learned behaviors that we have picked up along the way. Which means that I think you can unlearn the faulty behaviors and replace them with healthy ones.
