My ideal client is an LGBTQIA+ individual facing challenges related to their lived experience. They may struggle with anxiety and depression due to stigma, discrimination, or internal conflicts; adjustment and identity exploration while navigating coming out, self-discovery, or transitioning; or external stressors such as rejection, workplace or school challenges, or social isolation. I am a compassionate, affirming, and knowledgeable professional who can provide guidance, validation, and evidence-based support in navigating mental health and identity-related concerns. My counseling approach integrates adventure-based techniques when appropriate, offering dynamic and experiential methods to address and treat client concerns. Once we meet and I start getting to know you, I'll dig into my repertoire of approaches to see which one may suit your needs best. I love working with Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and a person-centered approach while sprinkling in mindfulness where it is meaningful and received.
