Therapy with Me

Let me start by saying I am proud of you for taking the first step, or thousandth step on your mental health journey. If this is your first time coming to therapy you could be wondering what ‘this’ is all about. To be blunt its about you! Are you struggling with anxiety or depression? Are past traumatic events preventing or stagnating emotional growth? Are you neurodivergent and struggling with a world that just doesn't quite communicate like you do or understand you? The most important thing to remember is that YOU have the power to enact positive change in your life. The mystery lies in how to enact that change. To start, we will collaboratively build  a space where you feel heard, where you feel safe, and where you feel valued. The best way to do that is to have open and honest communication on both sides. Through this communication, you and I will take a look at what is happening now and explore how that is affected by the world around us, and your past experiences. By striving to understand how those are all connected we can find ways to make positive changes occur. Each person is unique and so I like to employ an eclectic source of counseling techniques to help with each issue. I use the intersectionality of each client's lived Identities to decide on which techniques to utilize. I believe that ALL lived identities are valid. All of my sessions are designed to be Identity affirming spaces. And I will advocate for you and your needs in and outside session.
