Howdy! Congrats on starting the process of looking for a therapist! Remember on your search that one of the biggest predictors of client success is the strength of the relationship they have with their therapist. If you feel safe and comfortable, then most likely good progress will be made towards your goals. My style is equitable and focuses on that relationship, with previous clients saying that my humorous, laid-back approach to therapy put them at ease quickly. There is no power hierarchy here: I bring an expertise in mental health and you bring an expertise in your life. We need both to do successful and productive counseling! I utilize different techniques to focus on three major systems that affect our mental health: the system of the body (trauma informed care, biofeedback, emotional mapping), the larger system of the community of origin (attachment, IFS) and the even larger system of culture and politics (how do your identities shape the way you see the world and it sees you?) You deserve to be treated as a person, not a project. One of my greatest strengths as a therapist is that you will feel like you’re talking to a real human. My curiosity creates a non-judgmental atmosphere for our work and my ever-growing knowledge base is rooted in research-backed modalities of treatment. Plus I'm pretty funny, which never hurts!
