Welcome to a space where your journey toward healing and growth is met with understanding, compassion, and expertise. With over a decade of experience in human services, I bring a unique blend of therapeutic approaches, including EMDR, brain spotting, schema therapy, brief psychodynamic therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). My practice is dedicated to serving the LGBTQIA+, disabilities, substance use, anxiety, depression, trauma, and neurodivergent communities, recognizing and addressing the unique challenges these groups face. Here, inclusivity is at the heart of everything I do. I offer personalized, affirmative therapy for individuals and couples, creating a trauma-informed, non-judgmental space where you can explore your identity, build resilience, and embrace self-acceptance. My approach is deeply rooted in an existential understanding of human suffering, helping you navigate life's profound questions and find meaning even in its most challenging moments. In our work together, we’ll explore your past experiences to understand present behaviors, increase self-awareness, and gently reshape deep-seated patterns that may be holding you back. This process empowers you to take control of your life, fostering meaningful change and a deeper connection to yourself and others. My goal as a mental health counselor is to guide you toward a life of greater meaning and fulfillment. Together, we'll embark on a journey toward self-harmony, stronger family connections, and a more profound sense of belonging within your community. Through the use of Schema and Brief Psychodynamic therapies, I help you identify and transform ingrained patterns, facilitating lasting shifts in your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. This approach is designed to deepen self-awareness and promote emotional healing. In the face of life's inherent suffering and challenges, there is dignity and worth in persisting. My practice is anchored in creating a safe, validating, and empathetic space where you can uncover your unique path to healing and growth. Let’s work together to create meaning from your experiences and build a life that reflects your true self. Reach out today to begin your journey. I am a Pre-licensed clinician currently under the supervision of Todd Payton, LMHC.
