Pro LGBTQQIAP/ BLM/ sex/ body positive/ally. I specialize in healing from healing the neurological response to trauma. My training, both academic and visceral experiences, have all contributed in creating an eclectic therapeutic approach that values empowerment, self-direction, confidentiality, a non-judgmental atmosphere, emotional safety, validation, dignity, and respect above as else. These components are necessary to create an environment conducive for healing. When both the client and the therapist are willing to work in collaboration towards achieving their therapeutic goals, great strides can be made in the healing process.
I am a Certified Trauma Professional. I have specialized training in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy/Advanced DBT, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Ethics When Working with Minors, Empowerment Model, Strength Based Perspective, Recovery from Addictive Illnesses, Exposure/Impact of Domestic Violence on Children, Early Onset Sexual Trauma, and Forensic Screening.
Our purpose is to treat our clients in the same way in which we want to be treated. We highly value our client's ethnic/cultural/gender/sexual diversity and appreciate the fact that gender and sexuality exists on a spectrum. Self direction is sacred. We should ALL feel appreciated for exactly who we are.
