The narratives we create about who we are and from where we come have a direct and profound impact on our daily lives. Very often that narrative is skewed, causing distress, anxiety, and depression, among other symptoms. I work with my clients to better understand that narrative and create a more positive and healthy understanding of oneself. In this regard, Cognitive Behavior Therapy is helpful in redirecting maladaptive thoughts.

The popular phrase "forgetting and forgetting" is a misnomer. It is more accurate to recognize that one must "let go" rather than forget. This is not an easy task. Through the ACT approach, I work with my clients to recognize where he or she might be stuck in the past and find ways for him or her to let go of and accept hurtful or traumatic events. This allows one to live more mindfully and in the present moment without reliving past distress that can often be debilitating.

As someone who is in recovery, I understand how difficult it is to find and maintain sobriety. I believe that sobriety and the way one finds sobriety is different for each person. While 12-step might play a part in one's recovery, it may not be the end-all. There are many routes to finding a fulfilling sober life, including developing more genuine connections with other people and finding meaning and purpose in one's life.

I am a proud member of the LGBTQ community. I know, however, that it can still be a struggle to understand ourselves as sexual and multi-gendered beings. Culture pressures, family bias, and religious trauma are only a few of the factors that can impact how we see ourselves and understand our place in the world. Most toxic is the ingrained toxic shame that so many of us experience. For me, removing that shame is paramount to accepting and, most importantly, loving ourselves for who we.
