LGBTQIA+ issues, couples, addressing intimacy, trauma, EMDR, identity and gender expression, and women's issues. I am delighted to offer therapy for adults seeking Telehealth services. I am an MSW and LCSW, trained in EMDR as well as a queer, kink and sex positive, therapist with lived experience and commitment to creating a safe and inclusive space for individuals from all walks of life. Reach out today to schedule an appointment.
My approach to therapy is holistic and individualized, incorporating a variety of therapeutic techniques tailored to meet the specific needs of each client. I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) as well, which is considered one of the most effective therapies for treating trauma.
I look forward to supporting you on your path to self-acceptance and empowerment. Remember, you are uniquely you, and that is something worth celebrating. If you would like additional information, please feel free to reach out or take a look at the resources on my website.
