I am a therapist with over 15 years of experience working in the addiction and mental health field.
As a member of the LGBTQ+ community and a person of color from a mixed cultural background, I am passionate about providing affirmative treatment. I also have a special interest in working with people who practice indigenous healing, Spiritualism, Neopaganism, and New Age practices.
I am a member of the World Professional Organization for Transgender Health (WPATH).
My approach to therapy utilizes a variety of skills, including Dialectical Behavioral Therapy skills, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Positive Psychology, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I believe in tailoring treatment to fit your unique needs, and we work together collaboratively to create your personalized treatment plan.
My communication style is warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental. I aim to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard and validated.
In our first session together, we will discuss what brings you to therapy and start to identify your treatment goals. I will gather some background information and answer any questions you may have about the therapeutic process. Most importantly, we will begin building a trusting, collaborative relationship as a foundation for our work together.
