About
“It took me quite a long time to develop a voice, and now that I have it, I am not going to be silent.” A powerful quote by Madeleine K. Albright expresses my experience in finding my voice when “coming out” 20 years ago. Not only accepting the fact, that I’m part of a great community, but also being able to advocate for the community I belong to. My sole passion is to serve the LGBTQIA+ community as best as I can. My goal is to help enlighten others about the community, educate the importance of mental health, to build bridges within the greater community that will bring support and wellness to LGBTQIA+ youth.
I am a current licensed professional counselor. I have an educational and professional background in Psychology and Yoga. I tend to utilize an eclectic approach, which means that with the multiple theories at our fingertips, it is crucial to find the correct theory that will help a client.
I have experience working in crisis situations, individual, family, group therapy settings, and teaching Yoga and Psychoeducation to a broad spectrum of individuals. I have experience helping those find solutions for depression, anxiety, trauma, and PTSD. I believe in a welcoming and safe environment for all racial, gender, and cultural identities.
