I really enjoy working with clients who are addressing confidence, self-esteem and intimacy concerns. I have experience working with people 15+ to address anxiety, depression, family dynamics in addition to other emotional concerns. I have training in processing trauma narratives and I understand systemic barriers that can impact symptoms. I am kink friendly, sex-positive, CNM affirming. My favorite part about being a therapist is celebrating your accomplishments, and showing you that you are WORTHY AND DESERVING of being celebrated.
I use an eclectic approach, meaning a combination depending on what the individual is wanting. I incorporate CBT techniques (checking thoughts, but not gaslighting yourself) in addition to DBT techniques (mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance.) I enjoy incorporating art in therapy as well, because sitting and talking can get boring.
My hope is that you leave the session thinking about things in a different way, and to overall be more gentle with yourself. It is hard to be a human being, and we are often the hardest on ourselves.
