About My Clients
I see clients with phase of life issues, anxiety, depression, trauma, mood struggles, and more. I apply an integrated approach and use motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and person-centered therapy. I specialize in LGBTQIA2S+ issues and domestic/intimate partner violence. I am trained in writing gender affirming care letters for transgender and non-binary clients, and extremely enjoy providing a safe-space.
My Background and Approach
My start in this field came from working as an advocate at a domestic violence shelter. I then worked in community mental health for six years, as a therapist and clinical supervisor. Over time, I have engaged in countless trainings and seminars to increase my therapeutic knowledge, and I have worked with a highly diverse client set. Each client’s path in therapy looks different. I make sure to identify each individual’s specific needs in therapy and adapt my session structure to match. I have experienced great personal growth from receiving my own therapy, and love to aid others.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
As a therapist, I am a huge advocate for social justice and underserved communities and most of my experience is with BIPOC, queer, female, trans/non-binary, and disabled clients. I integrate validation of client experiences and challenge clients to make appropriate and healthy changes in their lives.
