In my therapeutic practice, narrative therapy is a cornerstone of my approach. Drawing from my expertise, I utilize narrative therapy to empower clients in exploring and reshaping the stories they tell about their lives. This technique is particularly effective in working with individuals across the LGBTQIA2-S+ spectrum, tweens and teens navigating the challenges of identity and mental health, and those dealing with depression and anxiety.

I draw on the principles of psychodynamic therapy to provide a nuanced and insightful approach to understanding and addressing psychological challenges. Using psychodynamic theory, I create a therapeutic space that encourages introspection, self-discovery, and the development of healthier coping mechanisms, ultimately fostering resilience and positive growth.

I embrace a humanistic approach, placing a strong emphasis on the belief that each individual possesses the inherent capacity for growth, self-awareness, and positive change. Through the lens of humanistic principles, my goal is to create a therapeutic space that honors each person's unique journey, promoting self-awareness, empowerment, and a deeper connection to their authentic selves.

Specializing in gender identity, my practice is dedicated to creating a safe and affirming space for individuals across the gender spectrum. As a member of the TGI community, I bring a unique understanding to address the nuanced mental health needs within this diverse community. Whether navigating the beautiful complexities of the trans* experience, I provide tailored support, fostering self-discovery, resilience, and empowerment in each unique journey toward authenticity.

Within my therapeutic expertise, I specialize in providing compassionate support for individuals grappling with depression. By collaboratively navigating the complexities of this emotional landscape, we delve into the underlying factors contributing to your experience. Through insightful conversations and evidence-based interventions, our shared goal is to develop effective coping strategies, fostering resilience and promoting emotional well-being.

In my practice, I focus on offering empathetic support to teens, with a particular emphasis on the LGBTQIA2-S+ community. Adolescence can be a transformative period, and for LGBTQIA2-S+ teens, it involves unique challenges. My approach nurtures a safe space for identity exploration, encompassing the diverse aspects of sexual orientation and gender identity. Together, we navigate the complexities of teen life, addressing challenges such as self-discovery, relationships, and mental well-being.
