Community-Based Therapy Services
In a clinical setting, I believe in unconditional positive regard towards my clients and creating a strong support system through trust and understanding. I utilize art and play therapy techniques, as well as teaching anxiety coping skills and goal setting skills in a solutions based counseling therapy model. I seek to build a strong rapport with clients, especially diverse individuals. I connect with my clients not only on a personal level by being a queer, native co-parent of a teenager myself, but also on a professional level after working as a teacher for fifteen years. I have experience meeting the academic, social and emotional needs of neurodiverse individuals, the LGBTQIA+ community, indigenous people, and people of all ages and backgrounds.
Telehealth Services
To expand and improve our care options for clients, ACP offers Telehealth (phone or video) appointments. Telehealth uses phone or video conferencing to connect you with highly qualified and experienced providers in real-time from the comfort and convenience of your own home or office. Before your telehealth appointment, you will receive details for how you will connect with your provider. If you will be connecting via phone, the provider will plan to call you at your scheduled appointment time. Please be ready to take the call and also check that your phone allows calls from blocked numbers (accessible within your phone settings). If you will be connecting via video conference, your provider will email you an invite to join the appointment. Please call our office to learn more about ACP’s telehealth services and to schedule an appointment.
