Empathy. Validation. Alliance. Transformation. As a therapist, it is my belief that all these elements must be present for treatment to be successful. They provide the foundation for our work together. Empathy- it is vital that you feel seen, heard, and understood. Validation- I believe that ALL feelings are valid, and I strive to create a safe space for them to emerge and process. Alliance- therapy is most effective when it is a collaboration built on trust and unconditional support. Transformation- whatever you are struggling with, my job is to inspire change and help you transform into the person you want to be.
I work with adults of all intersecting identities, but I do specialize in working with those who identify as LGBTQ+. My training and experience make me especially qualified to treat depression, anxiety, OCD, addiction, and trauma. I utilize multiple therapeutic modalities including Psychodynamic, CBT, ERP, and EMDR.
I know that choosing a therapist can be overwhelming. It is important to find the right fit. I encourage you to visit my website to learn more about how my personal and professional journeys in mental health have shaped my approach, my specialties, and my overall way of working.
