I work with adults to aid them on managing daily and life stressors, learning and breaking unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns, as well as managing self-esteem issues, anxiety and impulsivity. Through active listening and support, my treatment philosophy involves helping clients improve their well-being by processing, building self-awareness, building network and community, and developing tools to cope and work with their issues and concerns. My empathetic nature helps clients build trust to focus on working toward achieving their goals and overall wellness. I am a child-free, LGBTQIA+, and sex worker- affirming therapist.
I enjoy learning and research, and am driven to incorporate evidence-based practices into my therapeutic approach. I utilize eclectic therapy, emphasis on talk/processing therapy for support with a semi-structured approach. I am currently working toward certification in ADHD and trauma treatment to expand my knowledge and ability to help others.
