Introduction

My life has led me to believe in the power of internal peace. An individual, regardless of one's past, present, and future, is deserving of the peace that comes from loving oneself and being able to show love to others. Ready to learn the tools and foster pathways to create personal peace and fulfillment? You can achieve this and peace while working with me.

My communication style

I am a direct communicator who has a soft tone and an approachable demeanor. I get along with a variety of different personal approaches to things, and am neurodiverse. I set an exploratory tone with curiosity and a model way to create a manageable window of tolerance, allowing for more awareness of self-regulation, accountability, and self-agency.

How I help clients reach goals

I am an agender human living with a complicated dissociative disorder, and I have been able to gather the fruit of this enlightenment. Now I want to partner with you and support the internal relationship you need to create by applying an adaptable understanding of how personalized coping skills and a changed belief paradigm can change your life.

My journey to becoming a provider

I grew into someone who has a lived experience with varying levels of struggle and have been able to push through, reclaim myself, and open up to success in all life domains. I have been a practicing clinical social worker for over a decade, and this has led me to enlightenment that I want to share with others seeking peace and success.

My approach to therapy

My approach

I create spaces for individuals to discuss what their barriers to internal peace are. I then provide a perspective that incorporates the development of life skills, coping/building distress tolerance, and therapeutic alliance to develop insight and reinforce new beliefs about who you are, which will reduce the negative implications of trauma.

My client focus

Ideal clients for me are folks who are open to sitting in discomfort and need relational support to feel less alienated by their symptoms. I am an interactive therapist who prompts and provides interactive feedback using therapeutic tools and modalities. Clients are also seeking more holistic healing and are willing to talk about feelings.

What you can expect from me

My first session with clients

The first session is going to focus on establishing a foundation for our therapeutic relationship, and you will experience welcome, curiosity, and empowerment. I do focus on starting therapy with clear expectations. I will review my scope and provide interactive feedback on how I can partner with your expectations for therapy and personal growth.
