I want to commend you for your bravery in taking the first step towards reaching out for help. Counseling can give you a non-judgmental place to vent as well as a place to learn about new ways to manage overwhelming feelings. As a therapist, my main way of understanding how people work is through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. It can help us challenge our negative thoughts and utilize healthy coping skills. I primarily take a humanistic approach with my clients and make sure to address psychosocial, biological, developmental, spiritual, and cultural issues as needed since every client is unique.
I have experience working with clients of varying ages, socioeconomic statuses, cultural backgrounds, and levels of functioning. One of my biggest clinical strengths is working with adolescents and young adults. I have a great deal of experience helping those struggling with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and other life stressors.
I am continuously learning and have recently focused on expanding my expertise in working with transgender and gender nonconforming individuals. It is important for me to create an atmosphere where my clients feel safe and welcome. Finally, I find humor to be an important part in healing and in good mental health. Reach out today to start your journey.
