About me
As a queer lesbian identifying therapist, I have a particular interest in working with individuals and couples who are exploring their gender identity, sexuality, and relationships. I utilize CBT, DBT, and ACT interventions. I understand that each person is unique with different learning styles and needs and adapt my style to try and meet those needs.
Stepping into someone else’s lived experience and helping them to feel seen, heard, and understood, is what I live for as a therapist. We are constantly bombarded throughout our lifetime with messages about what we should think, how we should feel, and what we should do that it can be hard to connect with who we are, what we need, and what we want out of life. My goal in therapy is to help guide others toward self-discovery, authenticity, and building a life that they want for themselves. You are in the driver’s seat and get to set the destination, I'm just here to help you establish the directions to get there.
I utilize CBT, DBT, and ACT interventions. I understand that each person is unique with different learning styles and needs and adapt my style to try and meet those needs. I take into consideration the multiple identities a person holds and their impact on the therapeutic process. The qualities that make us unique and different are our superpowers. We are not always taught to celebrate the things that help us shine or stand out. I want those working with me to learn that they deserve to take up a lot of space in this world.
