Internal Family Systems (IFS)

I often use a therapy approach called Internal Family Systems (IFS), which is centered around the idea that we all have different internal parts or aspects of ourselves that interact in ways that can be helpful or harmful. These parts can be like voices within us. For example, some parts might constantly overthink things or criticize us, thinking they're protecting us from possible harm.

LGBTQ Issues

As a self-identified gender-nonconforming pansexual person, I know from personal experience how hard it is to fit in when it feels like others are judging you. Sometimes having someone to talk to is the most helpful thing for you. I have had training on how to work with LGBTQ+ clients, provide gender affirming assessments and letters for medical intervention, and it is my passion to work with people in the Queer community.

ADHD

As a neurodivergent therapist, I am keenly aware of the challenges of ADHD on attention, getting tasks done, and paying things on time, as well as the shame that comes with these challenges. I utilize CBT, DBT, and IFS to help with these challenges.

Anxiety

Sometimes it feels like your heart is pounding, thoughts race, and the world is coming to an end even when you are perfectly safe. Anxiety is a specialty of mine and using parts work as well as mindfulness techniques, as well as other methods, Anxiety is a treatable condition.
