I usually work from a mindfulness-based cognitive-behavioral perspective, in which we examine how your thinking affects your emotions and behaviors. By becoming aware of unhealthy thought patterns, we can learn to think differently; and similarly, change our relationship with the associated negative feelings. I usually work in a more direct manner, giving you concrete tools that you can use to help yourself. Of course, all of this will depend upon you! Each treatment will be a collaborative process, depending on what works best for you.
While I work with all mental health issues (anxiety, depression, anger-management, etc.), I do so through a trauma-informed lens, as that has been my main area of focus and training, both here and abroad (I trained at a refugee center in East Africa). I also specialize in issues of identity, gender and sexuality, self-acceptance and body image.
I have specific expertise in working with stigmatized groups, like LGBTQ+, sex workers, poly, kink, and other people from diverse sexual and gender experiences; as well as refugees and immigrants; and complex trauma. I think it’s important to show that we as therapists are human too. I am not perfect; I also struggle. And I would like to be with you in yours
