Personal Statement
I work with clients to find a new perspective on life. Growing up, we are told/hear many things about what we “should” do or how we “should” feel. Should statements can cause clients to struggle with anxiety, depression, issues with connections with themselves or others, sexual health issues, and much more. As a client-centered and solution-focused therapist. I view clients as the expert in their life and work with them to find their authentic selves by working on compassion, acceptance, and empowerment.
Our world has changed, and societal expectations are changing, this gives us all the opportunity to discover our true priorities. How we show up for ourselves, friends, family, relationships, and our careers. Working with clients since 2015, I have found that all clients are different and need a customized approach to focus on what they are struggling with. I view our time together as a collaborative team. I focus on being empathetic, supportive, non-judgmental, mindful, and a good listener. As a white cis-female therapist, I work on continued education and self-reflection to provide culturally sensitive therapy. I specialize in adult ADD/ADHD management, sex therapy, and LGBTQ+ affirmative, kink/poly affirmative care for individuals and couples.
It is not always easy to face our own internal work or the work within a relationship, but I am available to support you as you face challenges and become the person that you want to be. I look forward to working with you!
