My Approach to Helping
When we are facing challenges in our lives, it is tough to find ways of working through them on our own. I believe that through a respectful therapeutic environment, all people can find new strength and resilience to overcome life challenges. As a therapist, my goal is to collaborate with you and find ways of addressing your concerns in a way that feels natural and respectful to who you are.
I provide counseling to adolescents and adults and help them work through issues like anxiety, depression, self-esteem body image, sexualitygender identity development, and more. Additionally, I have a passion for and experience working with diverse groups of people such as the queer community, neurodivergent folk, and non-monogamous kink communities.
I approach therapy with a variety of clinical styles such as rational emotive behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and strengths-based approaches. However, your needs and goals are most important in therapy. I will always adjust my style so that therapy will feel authentic for you. Therapy is supposed to be hard work, but a space still full of grace, positivity, and humor. I am looking forward to working with you.
