Congratulations on taking the first steps toward a more manageable life! It is not easy to sift through the list of many fantastic and capable clinicians to find the one that feels right for you. My current and past clients shared that they reached out to me because they resonated with my specializations and personable website. I am an empathic active listener who will assist you in discovering and recovering parts of yourself, will challenge your misguided beliefs and dominant discourses, and support you as you process the myriad of emotions that you are carrying. To learn more about me: www.theextrovertedtherapist.com
I specialize in LGBTQ+ affirmative therapy, EMDR trauma treatment, Codependency, Attachment styles, and ERP treatment for OCD. You are the expert on your lived reality, and I would like to support you through your journey of self-discovery, self-acceptance, and self-empowerment with the use of these evidence-based modalities.
Talk therapy is conversational and collaborative. Each client is a unique individual; therefore, the therapeutic relationship, and thus the interventions, are organically tailor-made to suit the needs of each client. I provide an emotionally safe and welcoming environment and will hold space for you to practice vulnerability. We are in this together.
