My expertise in LGBTQIA+ issues comes from professional training and personal experience within the community. Through specialized education and as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I offer insight and empathy.

My approach incorporates techniques informed by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Through this framework, I help clients understand the connections between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. By identifying and challenging negative thought patterns, we work together to develop healthier coping strategies and promote positive change. This CBT-informed approach empowers clients to gain insight, build resilience, and achieve their therapeutic goals.

My practice integrates techniques influenced by Rogerian therapy. In this client-centered approach, I prioritize empathy, unconditional positive regard, and genuineness. By fostering a supportive and nonjudgmental environment, clients feel empowered to explore their experiences and emotions openly. Through Rogerian-informed techniques, I aim to facilitate self-awareness, personal growth, and a deeper understanding of oneself.

In my practice, I incorporate techniques informed by psychodynamic therapy. This approach explores unconscious processes, childhood experiences, and relational patterns to gain insight into present-day struggles. By examining the root causes of emotional distress, we work collaboratively to foster self-awareness and facilitate healing. Through psychodynamic-informed techniques, I aim to help clients uncover unresolved conflicts, develop insight, and make meaningful changes in their lives.
