I usually work from a mindfulness-based cognitive-behavioral perspective, where we examine how your thinking affects your emotions and behaviors. By becoming aware of unhelpful thought patterns, we can release them, and the associated emotions and behaviors. Further, we will examine our relationship, to become more aware of relationship dynamics, and how those affect you. 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, MAPs, and other people from diverse sexual and gender experiences; as well as refugees and immigrants.. 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
