I have over 12 years of experience effectively treating mental health and substance abuse concerns with LGBTQIA2S+ persons (sex positive; kink affirming), BIPOC and other PGM, and femme-identified persons. I am excited about the opportunity to provide clients a therapeutic oasis in the desert of societal expectations, unspoken rules, and emotional voids. I value being person-centered, knowledgeable, experienced, compassionate, empathetic, and relatable. My therapeutic training and personal values afford me the opportunity to engage in meaningful collaboration with clients as work through client-centered goals and objectives.
I provide Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to individual clients. For clients struggling with suicidality, I utilize the Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality (CAMS). I use the Gottman Method for couples and polycules.
My therapeutic mantra is, "Strengthening emotional connection, one part at a time." The goal is for us to collaborate in building the life you desire. It is okay to invest in your emotional wellbeing. You are worth it and I am here for support. I'm looking forward to working with you.
