Therapist

I have been in the mental health field for over 10 years and have been counseling for four years. I became a counselor because I genuinely care about what happens to others and I want to help them through tough times. I have a passion for working with the LGBT+, ENM/Polyamorous, minority, and Kink communities. I am proficient in helping with issues related to trauma. I especially love to help empower the oppressed and the people who are made to feel "less than."

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


I am trained in some of the latest therapeutic techniques, including EMDR, DBT, and CBT. I don’t believe in a “one-size-fits-all” approach, but rather in meeting patients where they are. Together, we can work to fine-tune beliefs, regulate intense emotions, demonstrate compassion and self-regard, and quiet the inner critical voice often rooted in trauma.
