About My Clients
I have a passion working with youth and young adults, especially those that identify as LGBTQ+. I currently have availability for clients ages 10 through 29. I like to help clients work through depression, anxiety, ADHD, relationship difficulties, stress, gender dysphoria, and trauma.
My Background and Approach
I incorporate and practice coping skills in sessions to best help clients succeed. I enjoy doing art therapy or playing games with clients to help them build skills and to feel more comfortable in session. I use an eclectic approach but use relational therapy the most often. Depending on the client, I may use cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectal behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, acceptance and commitment therapy, strengths based and trauma informed care. I can also provide EMDR and animal assisted therapy with my therapy dogs in training Autumn and Aurora.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I became a therapist because of personal lived experiences. I have had a passion to help others since I was a teenager. I would love to be the person who helps you get through difficult life experiences or mental health challenges. Social justice is extremely important to me and as a social worker, I consider how our society impacts us individually and collectively. Minorities are especially impacted by our country's values and politics. I have a lot of experience working with LGBTQ individuals and have a passion for helping this population through these difficult times.
