About My Clients
My clients often feel alone in their struggle with emotional regulation, distress tolerance, time management, substance abuse or behavioral addictions. My clients are often limited in their potential because of the unprocessed trauma they hold from their past. My clients very often know what they want but don’t know how to achieve a life that is more reflective of their authentic self. My clients are often experiencing a conflict in their life and seek to explore their meaning and purpose.
My Background and Approach
I take a holistic approach to treating mental health and behavioral health issues. The tools I provide for healing and growing are all evidence-based and theory-driven. Changing our environment is just as important as challenging our inner conflicts and healing our psychological wounds. My practices are mindfulness-based and rooted in CBT, DBT and existential psychology . I offer trauma-informed psychotherapy in a safe space. I specifically specialize in relationships and emotional intelligence (EQ). I see clients that are exploring polyamory and I see clients that have been in poly-relationships for years. I engage in a kink-affirming practice and offer a sex-positive approach to mental health.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that all people are capable of personal growth and creating change. I believe that all transition involves loss, and all loss involves grief, and unresolved grief is a burden to most of us - more often than we realize. I believe that learning to control our reactions to our emotions helps us to become successful humans. I believe that mental health is health. I believe that acceptance and surrender is just as important as focus and drive. I also believe that we create meaning and purpose for our lives and this is an important component to our overall wellness. I believe that all people are deserving of love, respect, and justice.
