Hi there! I’m Mora and I’m a queer, neurodivergent therapist committed to helping people take back the reins of their lives. I’m a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LADC); however, my specialty areas are not exclusive to addiction. I support clients through anxiety, negative thought patterns, and relationship issues.
With values rooted in respect, acceptance, and collaboration, I strive to create an affirming space where clients feel empowered to safely explore sensitive topics. My style is reflective, action-oriented, and grounded in a harm reduction approach. Rather than learning to ignore or judge negative beliefs, I use a harm reduction approach that encourages clients to respond with nonjudgmental curiosity, reducing the impact of critical thoughts while building sustainable change.
From our very first session, I let clients know that I have no expectations about what—or how much—of their background they want to share. I highlight that there is no urgency to tell your entire life story in just 50-minutes. Opening up takes courage and patience, and I believe therapy should move at a pace that feels safe and comfortable for each person. As we continue working together, my goal is to help clients reframe unhelpful beliefs, embrace autonomy, and prioritize their emotional well-being.
