For some of us the world is a more difficult place that it is for others. It is not our fault and there is nothing wrong with us. For some of us the world is not safe, the people in our world have made it unsafe, and we have fought by ourselves for ourselves. It is not our fault, and we should be proud that we are still here, that we still love ourselves enough to fight, and to ask for help. If this describes you - I am here to help. I will believe in you, challenge you, speak truth to you, teach you skills and techniques, and help you help yourself. Together, we can discover how to make your world what you want it to be.
I have been a clinical social worker for 23 years. My passions are working with LGBTQA+ youth and adults, therapists, and educators. I have experience using CBT, TF-CBT, narrative therapy, exposure therapy, and solution focused therapy. However, therapy is about you first. Together, we will find and use techniques that work best for you.
If you think I might be a good fit for you please reach out. I won't lie to you and tell you that asking for help is the hardest part. But I will tell you, if you work with me as your therapist, you won't have to do the hardest parts alone.
