I have both clinical and personal experience with depression, and have tailored my approach based on what has been most effective for me and my clients. I help clients with depression address past trauma and negative beliefs and implement lifestyle changes in the present.

As a queer nonbinary person, I understand the unique issues the LGBTQIA community faces. I use several modalities to help clients overcome these issues, and tailor my approach based on the client's needs.

I have both clinical and personal experience with depression, and have tailored my approach based on what has been most effective for me and my clients. I help clients with depression address past trauma and negative beliefs while also implementing lifestyle changes in the present.

Since completing my eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) training, I have worked with many clients who have extensive trauma histories. Based on current research and my clinical experience, I believe EMDR is one of the most effective approaches for treating PTSD.

I completed my EMDR training in early 2022, and have been using it consistently since then. I have continued to attend EMDR trainings and supervision groups to stay up-to-date on the latest research and techniques. I have found that EMDR is effective with a wide range of presenting problems.

I became interested in internal family systems (IFS) after experiencing it as a client. I found this modality to be very helpful in addressing my own mental health issues, which inspired me to pursue further education in it.

I first learned about narrative therapy during a narrative therapy intensive I took as an undergraduate. I found that this modality aligned with my personal beliefs about counseling and mental health, and continued to research and practice it throughout my internship and current practice.
