I am an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist specializing in anxiety, depression, relationship stress, gender identity issues, major life transitions, highly sensitive individuals, and PMDD. My goal is to provide mental health care to adolescents and young adults, and my approach is to understand what matters to you. I'm here to learn what is important to you and help guide you through any challenges you may have that are preventing you from living authentically and without fear.
I will work alongside you to create a plan on what you would like to accomplish utilizing a trauma-informed combination of psychodynamic, solution-focused, narrative, and cognitive behavioral techniques. I am here to help you recognize behavior patterns and offer my encouragement and support in making those changes to improve your daily life. Everyone is unique which is why I tailor my style of therapy for each person with the goal of maximizing your strengths, honoring your authentic emotions, and promoting healthy communication. Together we can facilitate the growth and change you need to be the best version of yourself.
During the first session, I will provide a safe space for the individual to share what they are comfortable with. We will begin to discuss their goals in therapy and if they are unsure what those goals are, I will help work with them to understand more of what they have been feeling lately and what has brought them to therapy by asking questions and getting to know them, building rapport and trust.
