About My Clients
The clients I work best with are wanting to look at the intersection between their sexuality and trauma. My office is the place to deal with the ways stress and events have gotten in the way of your life. I want to help you to be able to draw a breath of air and not have the past get in the way of living in a way that feels authentic to you.
My Background and Approach
I have been working mental health across a variety of settings for over 10 years. I have worked in hospitals, detention centers, community mental health, adoption, and foster care settings with folx from every walk of life. After working in all of those places the thing that has translated everywhere is helping clients feel accepted and empowered. I want to have clients not only feel that they get the tools they want out of therapy but also that therapy is a place they can practice skills, like advocating for themselves, feeling empowered and safe enough to do so. I work from a heavily consent based place so you will know everything we are going to do before we do it and they why we are trying things as well. I want you to have all of the information so you can make the decision that best suits you or be able to modify what we are doing so it fits your needs and wants.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I feel that information, empowerment, and acceptance are three things that we need in order to be able to cope with or manage anything that comes our way in life. These are things we often do not receive enough of from friends, family, or society. Having the information to understand what is occurring can make it easier to decide what is needed or what to do moving forward. I believe in humor being part of therapy. Yes what we will be working on in session is hard work but there is also room for a joke or pun here and there when it suits the moment.
