I have over 15 years experience supporting clients from a holistic and integrative framework focused on mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual wellbeing. I work with my clients as a guide and a teacher to help facilitate change and the ability to cope with the many life stressors and challenges that we all face such as work-life balance, parenting, depression, anxiety, anger management, multicultural and diversity needs, skill development, and more. I am here as a resource for you to ensure you have the care and services that you need!
I'm more than an ally, I'm a member of the community. While our experiences aren't going to be identical, I assure you I can most likely relate. Work with someone who truly understands.
I specialize in sexual minority challenges. I encourage all sexual expression, identity exploration and character development. Furthermore, I encourage an open dialog regarding identify uncertainty and affirming spiritual practices.
Joie de Vivre is an affirmative practice and celebrates the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer experience. Affirmative therapy embraces a positive view of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) identities and relationships, and addresses the negative influences that homophobia, transphobia, and heterosexism have on the lives of LGBTQ clients.
In our work together, I help you gain a greater sense of self-awareness, acceptance, and resilience. I help LGBTQ+ clients like you address issues related to coming out, exploring gender identity, managing anxiety and depression, building healthy relationships, and finding community support.
