Our community deserves professionals that are committed to addressing specific challenges faced by queer individuals as well as actively celebrates and supports those identities. I believe that the human spirit is truly limitless in potential when nurtured and allowed the space for exploration and growth. I emphasize warmth, collaboration, curiosity, and openness to facilitate empowerment and assuredness.

Therapy is a chance to explore the roots of anxiety to not only regulate but find methods of healing through developing healthy, adaptive perspectives. We create a plan to cope with anxiety using a combination of individualized interventions so your path to moving forward is tailored to you.

Therapy provides a framework for understanding your experience of depression, methods to support counteracting your symptoms, and a safe supportive environment to challenge the urge to isolate that many people feel. We would couple methods to address and remove obstacles so you can flourish and then go deeper to explore how to prevent future suffering.

Through CBT we would focus on recognizing unhelpful, negative thought patterns that may be influencing painful experiences of reality and identifying, challenging, and replacing those patterns. We would work towards changing thinking patterns over time to find stability, unlearning self-limiting beliefs, and replace with positive truths.

Since being trained in DBT over a decade ago I've seen many of my clients find positive change and relief through mastering skillsets to regulate emotions, manage distress, improve relationships, and ultimately lead more fulfilling lives. We build on a foundation of mindfulness to gain present-based insight to ourselves and deeper comprehension of our internal dialogues so that are truly able to be the experts on ourselves.

I believe the most beautiful pieces of life reside in a person's innate potential for growth, self-discovery, and self-actualization. If we set aside Western medicines tendency to put people in diagnostic boxes we are able to address unique strengths and needs through a holistic, person-centered lens and focus on developing the ability to use your instincts to find wisdom, growth, healing, and fulfilment.
