About My Clients
Many people who identify as gay, bi, lesbian, queer, trans, non-binary, etc. survived by molding to what others expected of them. Before the coming out journey, a lot of people pleasing survival skills were learned, needed, and used. Very similar skills are learned to survive domestic violence and abuse. If you find yourself hyper aware of other peoples emotions, avoid conflict, or are always trying to take care of everyone else- I can help you! Schedule a free consult today to begin healing!
My Background and Approach
Together we will improve people pleasing behaviors, create healthy boundaries, identify wants and needs, and build self confidence. Together we can learn to identify red flags that lead to abusive relationships. I will help you learn to accept healthy love and leave behind toxic relationships. I will help you learn new coping tools to replace the ones that no longer serve you. I will help you lower your anxiety, depression, and overwhelming emotions and increase self love and self care to live life more authentically. If you are an over thinker, someone who is always worried about other peoples feelings, or someone who put everyone before yourself. I can help you identify and care for your needs, learn how to say no, find compromise to get your needs met as well. I am a modern therapist who provides feedback, sets goals, and assigns homework. I enjoy finding the subconscious reasons for behaviors and help to bring them to your awareness.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am also a survivor of abuse and sexual trauma. I am bisexual, poly, and kink identifying. I have a passion to work and live within the queer community. I provide letters for transitioning and trans affirming medical care. I am ethically non monogamous and enjoy helping others navigate the world of open relationships. I am open minded and sex positive and I encourage all walks of life to reach out for help in doing the self work. I believe the most important factor in succeeding in treatment is the therapeutic relationship. I create a non-judgmental safe space in order for you to share your experiences with me. I believe in collaborating to find small realistic goals while using your strengths as a way to better cope. I use techniques from several practices such as mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral therapy, family systems, etc . in order to better help you to reach your goals in therapy.
