About My Clients

True connection happens when you let someone into the places you normally keep hidden. LGBTQ+ individuals face higher rates of anxiety, depression, and trauma — not because of who they are, but because of the way they’re treated. Recognizing the intersectionality’s present in your life can often leave you feeling invisible. The only hope of invisibility is if they can't see you, maybe they won't hurt you.

My Background and Approach

I work with members of the LGBTQ+ community that struggle with living in the shadows due to trauma, anxiety or depression. Using CBT and/or EMDR and a psychodynamic approach, I help my clients discover their own strength by exploring the experiences in life that caused them to shrink into digestible forms of themselves. Through our work together, my clients are able to increase their connections and let go of negative ways of thinking so they can live life without the mask and be fully and unapologetically self-expressed.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

If you want to feel less sad or anxious or scared, we need to pull apart and explore the situations that are causing you to have these big emotions and develop tools to help you heal from big hurts and small hurts. You will be better able to recognize your strengths, appreciate them and then use them to conquer your goals and live unapologetically and mask free without fear of judgment or erasure. You don’t have to continue feeling the way you feel, you can have a life filled with joy, fulfillment and connection that is aligned with your goals and dreams no matter how unrealistic they may feel right now. I will help you identify the ways your thinking doesn’t serve you in living the life you want to live and to adopt new perspectives and skills to better manage the challenges life is throwing your way. I help my clients discover their own strength by exploring the experiences in life that caused them to shrink into digestible forms of themselves. Take the first step and reach out!
