Associate Therapist / AMFT (#147577)
I help adolescents, couples, and adults navigate anxiety, depression, PTSD, and LGBTQ+ identity challenges so they can build resilience, embrace authenticity, and live with purpose.
Challenging and reframing cognitive distortions, negative thinking, and low self-image is essential for building strong interpersonal relationships and developing confidence. When individuals struggle with self-doubt or see themselves through a distorted lens, it can create barriers to meaningful connections and reinforce feelings of unworthiness. By identifying and replacing these harmful thought patterns with more balanced and affirming perspectives, individuals can cultivate a higher sense of self-worth. This, in turn, allows a person to embrace their authentic selves, without fear of rejection or inadequacy. As self-acceptance grows, so does the ability to manage anxiety, depression, and other emotional challenges in healthier ways. Learning and practicing positive coping strategies not only improves mental well-being, but also fosters deeper, more fulfilling relationships, ultimately leading to a greater overall quality of life.
I’m a queer therapist who is passionate about helping people live up to their true potential. I enjoy working with couples and helping them find common ground between the issues they are facing to connect on a deeper level and strengthen their relationship. I am in a polyamorous relationship and have been practicing ethical non-monogamy for the last 5 years. It’s an important part of my identity and lifestyle. I believe in systems, and the impact that family and other vital relationships have on shaping our worldview and our self-image. My work is rooted in trauma informed care, attachment, and solution focused work where we can work together to move past the difficult hurdles you’re facing at the moment. It’s important to me to build a trusting therapeutic relationship and a non-judgmental space to provide the best care possible.
