Maintaining a strong and trusting bond between client and therapist forms the cornerstone of effective therapy. My expertise lies in assisting individuals grappling with relationship issues, depression/anxiety, trauma and concerns about alcohol and substance use. Although my therapeutic approach is tailored to your individual goals, my training is rooted in Relational/Psycho-dynamic, Dialectical Cognitive Behavioral, and Motivational Enhancement Therapies. I utilize AEDP modality as the treatment for trauma.
While I work with a wide array of mental health issues, my specific areas of expertise and interest include: Alcohol and Substance use; Personality Disorders; Depression and Anxiety; Psychedelic Integration and Psychoeducation; & LGBTQ+ community and specific issues relating to the LGBTQ+ experience, Grief and Loss, and Complex Trauma.
My overarching goal is to guide my clients in boosting their self-esteem, realizing their creative potential, and enhancing their capacity to engage in meaningful relationships. To ensure we're a suitable match, I offer a complimentary, over-the-phone, brief assessment. I trust you'll find my direct, empathic, and authentic approach beneficial.

Groups
Wednesday Evening Harm Reduction Process Group
This group offers a unique opportunity to receive multiple perspectives, support, encouragement, and feedback from other individuals in a safe and confidential environment. Members will explore how substance use and other problematic behaviors may be associated with personal and social/relational factors. Members will develop individual goals and work towards their optimal relationship with substances and other behaviors. Group discussions will also focus on how to assess harm and process feelings of ambivalence about making changes. Group members will gain a better understanding of themselves and what might be underlying their behaviors while also developing practical skills to manage urges and cravings driving their behaviors.
