About My Clients
My clients are adults who have done all they can to survive their childhood, the pandemic, difficult relationships, oppressive systems, and/or work life. Their focus has been on making it through the day, only to realize that they’re too spent to dedicate any more time to themselves or their important relationships. They’re feeling overwhelmed with stress, depression, anxiety, grief, and/or trauma. While they may have an idea of their goals, they feel uncertain about how to get there.
My Background and Approach
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in working with couples and adult individuals navigating disconnection, oppression, depression, anxiety, and trauma. I’m an inclusive, affirming, and multiculturally-aware counselor, passionate about providing excellent care to members of the LGBTQIA+ and BI&POC communities. My approach to counseling is an integrative one, where I prioritize utilizing techniques and tools that will best resonate with you. At the core of my work, I use an emotion-focused, trauma-informed, cultural and relational, systems-focused, mindfulness-based, and person-centered approach. I teach couples effective tools and skills to increase healthy communication, liberating intimacy and connection, and a strengths-based view of their relationship. I consider each partner’s family history and culture, sexuality and gender expression, personal communication styles, and affection languages. I’m right beside you as we explore the health of your relationship.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that we have inner wisdom and strengths that can guide us, comfort us, and support us. I believe that you hold the most knowledge of yourself and that, deep down, you know how to heal yourself. We just have to explore and discover your wisdom. I’m dedicated to helping you get there by helping you increase your self-awareness, self-compassion, knowledge of your mental health, and providing effective tools and techniques to keep in your pocket. I’m your advocate, witness, ally, and support. I’m a multiculturally-aware, affirming, and inclusive counselor. I’m passionate about dismantling oppressive systems, being an advocate for and with my clients, and being an active member of the community. All identities and bodies are welcome here.
