About My Clients

Most of my clients are in the LGBTQ+ Community, as am I. Accepting oneself as part of the LGBTQ+ community can be a transformative journey. It begins with understanding that one's identity is valid and deserving of respect. Seeking out supportive communities and individuals, whether online or in person, can provide a sense of belonging and affirmation. Finding pride in one's identity, despite societal pressures, is a powerful step toward self-acceptance.

My Background and Approach

I use Socratic Questioning and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in my approach to therapy. Socratic Questioning, rooted in the method of the ancient Greek philosopher Socrates, involves asking probing questions to challenge and change irrational or unhelpful beliefs. I also use CBT, a technique used to help individuals recognize and reframe negative thought patterns that contribute to negative beliefs and emotional distress. By engaging in Socratic dialogue, I can guide clients to examine the evidence for their beliefs, consider alternative perspectives, and develop more adaptive ways of thinking and believing. This process can lead to profound insights and promote lasting change by empowering individuals to take control of their thoughts and emotions. Many beliefs have their origins in childhood, where societal values are not questioned. Most actions in life, positive or negative, are a result of the beliefs from which they occur. Change your beliefs and you can change how you feel.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Belonging to the LGBTQ+ community is a beautiful expression of diversity and authenticity. Embracing one's identity fosters self-love and empowers individuals to live their truth. LGBTQ+ individuals enrich our society with unique perspectives and experiences, promoting understanding and empathy. Celebrating diversity strengthens communities and promotes inclusivity, creating a world where everyone is valued for who they are. Embracing LGBTQ+ identities fosters a culture of acceptance and respect, where individuals can thrive without fear of discrimination. Love knows no boundaries, and embracing LGBTQ+ identities celebrates the beauty of love in all its forms. Every person deserves to love and be loved without judgment or prejudice, and embracing LGBTQ+ identities promotes love and compassion for all. Sexual orientation is not a choice but rather a natural and fundamental aspect of who you are. We don't choose our sexual orientation any more than we choose our eye color or height.
