I have over twenty years of experience working with a diverse client population all age groups, lesbian, gay, heterosexual and transgender.
If you are seeking therapy, you are taking an important first step towards creating the life you want both personally and professionally. Therapy can help you to explore your emotions, to find out what is keeping you from reaching your goals and also assist you in discovering and using your own natural strengths and gifts. I work with individuals, couples and families, those who are struggling during difficult times in life and also with those who just want more satisfaction in life. In either case, I work with clients to help free them from destructive life patterns that are blocking their natural life giving energy.

Want to go deeper than talk therapy? Do you stay busy to avoid feeling? LGBTQIA+? Experiencing a transition or loss? Do you have anxiety or sadness about the world? As a queer trauma therapist, it is my great joy to guide you in a different kind of therapy, one that works at the level of the body, not just the intellect. I hold the view that we can find greater inner peace and growth when we have the courage to examine and accept difficult emotions instead of trying to "fix" or numb them. In order to process the painful feelings, I will first help you learn how to feel calm and joy in your body, sensations that trauma disrupts.

I thrive to aid clients develop the skills they need to reach their goals within the scope of their privilege. Highlighting systematic oppressions in our world and how we can cope as living beings is what I strive to do with my clients. My approach mostly aligns with feminist theories and dialectical behavioral therapy techniques that focus on education about social justice issues & how those issues might affect my clients’ lives. My clinical interests include making the therapeutic space more welcoming to LGBTQ+ and Black communities.

Navigating the world as an LGBTQIA+ or gender expansive individual can be challenging, especially as a teen or young adult. Exploring gender/sexuality, while facing homophobia and/or transphobia, can cause significant emotional distress. It can be hard to know how to process and cope with those feelings, or where to turn for help. I hope to provide a safe, affirming environment for adolescents and adults on the LGBTQIA+ spectrum to discuss their unique experiences, and work towards affirmation of their authentic self.

Life can feel overwhelming and confusing when we are met with expectations that do not align with authentic self. I believe positive and effective change can happen once we become more confident and empowered within ourselves. I work with individuals to feel confident to make effective change within their life in order meet their personal and therapeutic goals. I primarily work individuals with disrupted attachments related to childhood trauma, and sexual trauma; in addition to depression, anxiety, OCD (specifically related to Relationships, Contamination, and Perfectionism), and Borderline Personality Disorder.
