I have expertise counseling a diverse group of patients dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, panic disorder, chronic PTSD, pluralism, and bipolar disorder. I have vast experience helping gender diverse clients explore dysphoria through a gender affirming lens, fortifying resilience toward euphoria. I am dedicated to breaking down the stigma around accessing care and navigating medical trauma within vulnerable populations, especially in communities of color.
I believe deeply in partnering to create goals that are important to the client and advising on the best options for achieving them. I believe firmly that the patient is the expert on their life and strive to bring my knowledge and experience to assist patients in understanding the mind-body connection. I don't think that therapy-forever is helpful to anyone. People should leave therapy confident in their coping tools and strategies for dealing with new life challenges.
So much happens to us that then goes on to steal our precious and limited resources. The goal is to build the skills needed to respond to situations in ways that align with your needs. In our first session, the aim is to learn what your goals are and to gain as much information on your background as possible. I can also answer any questions that you might have to help you determine if therapy with me is the right fit for you.
