Whether you are carrying the heavy weight of complex trauma, seeking a deeply affirming space for LGBTQ+ identity exploration, or feeling hijacked by OCD, you do not have to navigate this alone. As someone with experience in the Foreign Service, I also uniquely understand the profound stress, transition, and trauma faced by expats, diplomats, and veterans. I specialize in providing expert care to help you break free from survival mode and reclaim your authentic self.
I provide a collaborative, empowering space focused on your resilience. We will actively use gold-standard treatments—including EMDR, CPT, and Prolonged Exposure for trauma, and ERP for OCD. I also provide comprehensive and affirming Gender Affirming Treatment Evaluations.
With specialized training in acute and developmental trauma, I am dedicated to helping you heal past wounds and build a life that feels genuinely yours. You do not have to carry this heavy burden alone. Call or email today for a free 15-minute consultation.
