About My Clients

I have a particular passion for working with individuals who are motivated to change and are eager to address issues such as anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. My goal is to empower my clients to make meaningful changes in their lives and achieve a greater sense of fulfillment and stability. Additionally, I am passionate about advocating for and supporting the LGBTQ population. I strive to create an inclusive and affirming environment where everyone feels valued and accepted.

My Background and Approach

With a lengthy history of working with families involved in juvenile justice and child welfare, I bring a wealth of experience to my practice. This background has equipped me with the skills necessary to navigate complex family dynamics and support those affected by systemic issues. As a dedicated therapist, I utilize a variety of modalities to support my clients in their journey towards mental health and emotional well-being. My expertise encompasses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and Integrative Therapy. These approaches allow me to tailor my techniques to meet the unique needs of each individual. I am trauma-informed and understand the profound impact that trauma can have on an individual's life. My approach is sensitive and respectful, ensuring that my clients feel safe and supported as they work through their experiences.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that everyone has the capacity to change and grow, and therapy serves as an ideal avenue to facilitate this transformation. My practice is guided by compassion and expertise, aiming to empower individuals to address their challenges and achieve a greater sense of fulfillment and stability. Through therapy, I strive to support my clients in making meaningful changes and reaching their full potential. In summary, my practice is driven by compassion, expertise, and a commitment to helping my clients achieve their goals. Whether addressing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or navigating the complexities of family dynamics, I am here to provide the support and guidance needed for positive change.
