About My Clients
I work with both individual clients and folks in relationships to address concerns such as anxiety, LGBTQIA+ concerns, sexual health concerns, trauma, and related struggles.
My Background and Approach
Therapeutically, I utilize an integrative combination of person-centered, existential, and multicultural theories, along with a collaborative approach. I assist clients in creating a supportive therapeutic experience specifically catered to each client's individual needs. While working with me, you'll find the space to deeply explore your emotions and the accompanying applicable solutions. As an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist I am particularly passionate about promoting sexual health and wellness for my clients. I'm especially committed to providing quality couples and relational work. I completed levels one and two of the Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy (PACT) training. Additionally, i have completed levels 1 & 2 of the Gottman method, and I am a certified Prepare/Enrich facilitator and trainer.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe every client has a right to be treated with respect, kindness, and positive regard. Generally, I operate under the assumption that people do the best they can with the knowledge and resources they have available to them. It’s my role as a therapist to help you better understand and utilize the resources you already have available, as well as provide you with additional supports. I believe in intersectionality, a concept termed by Kimberlé Crenshaw which describes the ways in which systems of inequality based on gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, class and other forms of discrimination “intersect” to create unique dynamics and effects. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process that often involves hard work. I value your safety, privacy, comfort and autonomy. I believe that taking the time to build a positive rapport will allow us to do transformative work.
