Description
When you decide to work with me, it's like stepping into a nurturing, welcoming space where your voice and perspective matter. My goal is to truly understand your thoughts and emotions, beyond just hearing what you say. I’m committed to asking insightful questions and reflecting on what you share to ensure we're on the same page. As a therapist who believes in a holistic & integrative approach, I start with Person Centered Therapy, which means I focus on making sure you feel heard and valued. I see you as a whole person, with your mind, body, and spirit all connected. I use different, scientifically-backed techniques that fit your personal journey. My main aim is to support your independence and goals, helping you feel empowered throughout our work together. By emphasizing empathy, honesty, and unconditional positive regard, I strive to create a safe place for you to explore your feelings and encourage personal growth. Together, we’ll craft a personalized treatment plan—your unique “map”—to guide our journey toward mental well-being.
With over 13 years of experience in psychotherapy, I’ve built my practice on values of inclusivity, welcoming, and affirming all lifestyles and identities. I weave together my identities of being a trauma-informed, sex-positive, sex worker affirming, neurodivergent, kink-knowledgeable, and LGBTQIA+ affirming & identifying therapist who gets it and celebrates every facet of you. I aim to create a trusting, judgment-free environment where you can openly express yourself as we work together on your personal growth. We’ll explore your thoughts and feelings holistically, making sure you feel supported every step of the way, while integrating everything that’s important to you.
It’s important to remember that healing isn’t a straight path; it has its ups and downs, and you don’t have to navigate it by yourself. We’ll explore your experiences together, and I’ll be there as your steadfast confidant, helping you find clarity and peace. Working with me means opening the door to a deeper understanding of yourself. I’m passionate about offering a safe space where you can explore your feelings, develop healthy boundaries, and create effective coping strategies to tackle personal and professional challenges.
Let’s have the meaningful conversations you’ve been searching for. Together, we’ll embark on your mental health & wellness journey working towards helping you feel comfortable in your own skin and confident in expressing your thoughts and emotions.
