Navigating Life’s Challenges with Compassion and Expertise
Life often presents us with significant challenges. Whether you are grappling with anxiety, depression, persistent negative thoughts, unresolved trauma, or the impact of sexual assault and sexual abuse, it's important to recognize that you deserve to live a fulfilling and empowered life. My role as a therapist is to support you in navigating these struggles and finding a path forward.
A Warm, Inclusive, and Goal-Oriented Approach
Therapy can have its ups and downs, but my goal is to ensure that you leave each session feeling heard, supported, and equipped with practical tools for daily life. I use a warm, direct, and goal-oriented approach, integrating evidence-based cognitive and behavioral therapies with body-focused and somatic techniques. My background in crisis intervention for survivors of sexual assault and abuse has shaped my deep commitment to trauma processing and nervous system regulation. This approach not only addresses trauma but also supports overall well-being.
Culturally Competent and Affirming Care
Creating a safe and inclusive therapeutic space is essential. I am dedicated to fostering a welcoming environment that is culturally competent, affirming, and sensitive to the needs of BIPOC, LGBTQIA, and queer individuals. My experience working with people from diverse ethnicities, races, and backgrounds ensures that our sessions will be approached with the utmost respect and understanding. Your unique strengths and experiences will be the cornerstone of our work together.
Why Work with Me?
Empathetic and Inclusive: I provide a supportive space that is affirming of diverse identities, including BIPOC, LGBTQIA, and queer individuals.
Trauma-Informed Approach: With a background in crisis intervention for survivors of sexual assault and sexual abuse, I offer specialized support for processing trauma.
Holistic Techniques: Combining cognitive and behavioral therapies with body-focused and somatic methods, I address both mental and physical aspects of healing.
Culturally Competent Care: My practice is grounded in cultural competence, ensuring that therapy is respectful and responsive to your unique background and experiences.
Goal-Oriented and Practical: I aim to provide you with tangible tools and strategies to help you manage daily life and achieve your personal goals.
Warm and Genuine Connection: Building a strong, empathetic therapeutic relationship is central to our work together, helping you feel supported and understood.
Building a Supportive Therapeutic Relationship
Reaching out for therapy is a courageous step, and I am here to support you through every part of this journey. Developing a strong therapeutic relationship is key to effective therapy, and I strive to build a genuine connection with each client. Together, we will harness your existing strengths and work towards achieving a more fulfilling and balanced life. If you're ready to begin, I am here to guide you with compassion and expertise.
