My Ideal Client

I work with all sorts of people, though the niche I've found myself is working with those who have experienced trauma and who are neurodivergent and/or LGBTQIA+. One of the most important parts of therapy is the relationship between the client and the therapist. This is why I offer a free fifteen minute consultations so you can get an idea of whether I would be a good fit for you. We can still work together, even if you might not be part of the niche I described above.

My Approach to Helping

I provide a safe space to talk about anything you want to. I use a mix of CBT, EMDR, and IFS, with little bits of other therapy approaches, depending on what works best for each person. I find that EMDR and IFS works great for trauma.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As for who I am outside of being a therapist: I love tabletop roleplaying games, like Dungeons and Dragons and Ten Candles. I enjoy reading, karaoke, video games, and watching low budget sci-fi movies.

Techniques I Use

Specialties

  • Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) External link

    CBT is one of the styles of therapy I started out with. I still use it in a lot of my work, and it pairs very well with EMDR and IFS. I generally use CBT to explore unhelpful beliefs, where they come from, and shift them to more adaptive beliefs.

  • EMDR External link

    I was certified in EMDR and trained through EMDR Consulting. I use it to help people process trauma and it works great with CBT and IFS. It can be a bit intense for people, so it's important to me to create some trust with clients before we start EMDR.

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS) External link

    I use IFS to help people explore the different parts of themself. I appreciate how IFS helps people grow compassion for themself, and, like I said above, it goes well with CBT and EMDR.

Issues I Treat

Specialties

  • PTSD External link

    I use a mixture of CBT, EMDR, and IFS to explore and process past and/or current trauma. I help people not only shift their unhelpful beliefs stemming from trauma, but also their relationship with the part of themselves that hold trauma.

  • Autism External link

    I've worked with autistic, ADHD, and AuDHD people throughout my time as a therapist (and even before then in other jobs). I help people explore how neurodivergence affects their life, identify what supports could be helpful, and create a space where it's okay for someone to be themself.

  • Gender Identity External link

    Similar to what I said above, I've worked with people who are gender nonconforming throughout my career. In a world where there is outright hate for those who are gender nonconforming, I want to make a space where it's safe to be oneself and have the support they deserve.
