Self Scheduling
I have a collaborative approach to therapy. I am flexible and meet patients where they are by listening to their feedback and customizing treatment using counseling techniques that are comfortable for the individual. My goal is to make my patients feel safe and accepted and understood. I have worked with LGBTQ patients for the past several years. At my core, I am a person-centered therapist. However, I pull from various evidence based approaches like EMDR, IFS, and DBT. I have a lot of experience in helping individuals explore their gender identity. Additionally, I have pursued continuing education in supporting trans and gender diverse patients, and also working generally with the LGBTQ population.
Patients can expect that I strive to ensure my patients feel safe and comfortable working with me. As well, my goals during intake include getting a snap shot of what life looks like currently for my patient as well as what goals they have for counseling. Past patients have expressed appreciation for being seen and understood, and including the compassion and humor I bring to sessions.
