I have over 14 years experience working in community mental health with diverse populations throughout the state of California USA and Germany. I have been a lifelong advocate for members of the LGBTQI population.
After completing my masters degree in Counseling Psychology in 2013 I embarked on completing over 3000 intern hours with diverse populations including; Children and young adults, families with children and youth on the Autism spectrum and adults healing from trauma.
Together we will work on, gain skills in working with and around emotional blocks and beliefs about themselves which are no longer useful to them. In session we will work hard together to remove the internal cycle of shame and blame that gets in the way of you accepting and respecting yourself for the capable adult that you have become but may just not yet realize.
Self awareness and self appreciation is a muscle just like any other and it takes practice to unlearn old habits that reinforce negative feelings and self perceptions. They are called mindfulness “exercises” for a reason! In session we will “work out” your innate ability to create a calm, introspective and peaceful state of my from which you will be better suited to met challenging emotions or circumstances.
