Mental Health Counselor - Limited Permit Amherst Location
Self Pay, Out of Network "Coming Soon: Cigna and Aetna"
Are you looking for a space where you can be your most authentic self? As a Transgender woman and Mental Health Counselor, I am deeply committed to helping individuals navigate the complex journey of identity, belonging, and self-worth. I provide an empathetic, affirming, and lived-experience for the LGBTQ+ community and allies alike.
I work with clients of all ages, from children and adolescents to adults, grounded in the belief that self-compassion is the essential foundation for all successful therapy. By strengthening your relationship with yourself, you unlock the resilience needed to heal from trauma and face life’s transitions with confidence.
My clinical expertise allows me to support individuals struggling with:
Anxiety & Depression
Trauma & PTSD
Personality Disorders & Emotional Regulation
Substance Use & Recovery
In our sessions, I integrate evidence-based tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to provide you with practical strategies for daily life. Whether we are using motivational interviewing to spark change or navigating a crisis, my approach is always trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and strengths-based. I am here to collaborate with you as you move away from self-judgment and toward a life rooted in self-esteem and genuine connection.
