As a member of the LGBTQ+ population, I am passionate about supporting and engaging with fellow members of the community within a therapeutic setting. My competence in working with LGBTQ+ folks continues to grow, taking multiple LGBTQ+, sexuality, gender, and relationship counseling courses.

I am especially interested in working with trauma and PTSD. Within my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling program, I am emphasizing in trauma and have taken many courses in trauma and trauma treatment, including TF-CBT. I hope to continue my training in trauma and become trained in EMDR and BSP in the future.

Feminist Therapy is a grounding force in how I view and approach autonomy, equality, identity, discrimination, and oppression within a counseling space and in working with clients.

When approaching a client-counselor relationship, I find myself drawn to exploration; exploration of self, emotions, and experiences. I appreciate how Psychodynamic Therapy emphasizes and encourages this exploration into our experiences and emotions, while looking to how they have influences and shaped us as people.

Trauma impacts every part of our lives; our physical, social, emotional, and psychological wellbeing. As a therapist, I appreciate that the Trauma Therapy approach views a person holistically and seeks to process and address trauma through an integrative lens.

Coping with and exploring anxiety continues to become more and more prevalent and important. I am interested in working together to explore these anxieties and thought patterns, while looking to coping strategies and the formation of new thought patterns. I enjoy taking an eclectic and personalized approach to working with anxiety in clients.
