Finding a therapist can be overwhelming and I’m glad you’re sticking with it. I’m a Mental Health Counselor and I specialize in working with the queer community, Trauma and ADHD. As a therapist, I value honesty and collaboration in the therapeutic process. I feel it is important for you to know and be educated in your diagnosis. I want you to have a clear understanding of your mental health journey every step of the way. My goal is to create a supportive environment where you can feel empowered to explore your challenges, discover your strengths and build your resiliency to conquer your mental health.
I work from an integrated approach, meaning I use a variety of interventions that work for you. What you need can vary from session to session. While I am here to help you where you are, it's also important for me to help you move forward to reach your goals. It's about balancing where you are and where you want to be.
TL;DR - I work with trauma, ADHD and the queer community. I focus on educating and helping you in a way that works best for you.
