About My Clients
I have experience with the following clientele: The LGBTQIA community, couples and affair work, children and families, anxiety and depression, and much more! I also am familiar with multiple medical issues (i.e., cancer, chronic pain, diabetes, etc) and how to approach care from a biopsychosocial-spiritual aspect. This means that I approach therapy holistically and am willing to partner with other medical professionals to provide care for your full health!
My Background and Approach
Our lives consist of different stories vying for our focus. Amongst these different stories, we often forget that we can choose the one that fits our identities, beliefs, and values. This choosing allows us the ability to live as our best selves. Therapy is a space where you can create this story and work through the dynamics of living your best life. This is where I hope I can be a helping hand and walk alongside you. In this process, I will be using therapy techniques from Narrative Therapy, Logotherapy, and Medical Family Therapy to help in the exploration of your Biopsychosocial-Spiritual health. Through this Biopsychosocial-Spiritual lens, we can explore your health in a holistic manner and create your chosen story and your best life. Currently, I have completed my Ph.D. in Medical Family Therapy at East Carolina University. This degree aided in the development of therapy skills, especially regarding medical issues like chronic pain and cancer.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
In a previous project, I have explored the concept of burnout (a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion) in correlation with non-profit organizations. I have been able to use this information at conferences and training for those that are in the helping professions. An exciting project that I was a part of is the creation of and sustainability of an affirming primary care clinic for the LGBTQIA community. Through this clinic, I partnered with multiple medical doctors to provide Biopsychosocial-Spiritual care for LGBTQIA clients of all ages. I provide therapy services in the form of integrated care, traditional therapy sessions, and group therapy. I am an ally and affirming in my therapy!
