I am a Licensed Mental Health Therapist who is also a member of the LGBTQIA community and a strong advocate for human rights. I believe that when individuals feel unbalanced, they experience more struggles in their lives. The mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual aspects must all be given attention so that balance in all facets of an individual's life can be more easily obtained. The process of therapy is meant to help guide and encourage the client to address current and past issues that may be causing an individual to struggle to gain personal balance and happiness. I have experience working with individuals with a history of past trauma, sexual abuse issues, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles, as well as helping individuals with addiction recovery. My theoretical approaches include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Family Systems. Above all, I approach treatment through a trauma-focused lens and respect for others without judgment.
