About My Clients
My clients typically seek assistance for anxiety, depression, and/or interpersonal stress. They are open to learning new techniques/strategies to address their symptoms from a holistic perspective in order to improve overall quality of life.
My Background and Approach
I have a strong background in trauma related/anxiety disorders, mood disorders, and interpersonal relationships. Further, I use various evidence based strategies including but not limited to: cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma focused therapy, mindfulness based approaches, and exploring life's purpose/meaning. I explore with clients issues related to diversity, power, and privilege. I also take a strengths based approach (yes, we all have strengths!) as it is our strengths that often help us in the areas in which we are struggling most. I believe there is always hope even in the darkest of circumstances and it is that hope that often keeps us going.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe we are all doing the best that we can at any given moment. We all need some assistance throughout our lives (e.g., family, friends, support groups). In addition therapy can be instrumental in learning new ways to approach a situation or learning ways to accept situations that are beyond our control. I believe my client and I work as a team and adopt a collaborative approach to therapy while also incorporating humor. I value diversity (broadly defined), creating a safe space to discuss difficult topics, and believe that all my client have the ability to grow. I identify as an ally to the LGBTQ+ community and the BIPOC community.
