I’m an expert in helping people deal with problematic alcohol or drug use, as well as those struggling with sex and love addiction. My work focuses on decreasing the impact of trauma, addressing attachment issues, and facilitating the development of the skills and supports people need to move forward in their lives. I have worked with many different populations, including people in recovery, first responders, veterans, the kink community, and my LGBTQ+ family.
I am trained in EMDR and CPT – two modalities that focus on reducing the impact of trauma without extensive revisiting of the trauma itself – as well as CBT and DBT. I have specialized training in grief and loss, as well as extensive experience working with religious trauma.
It's great that you're thinking about adding in more support for yourself! If you are interested in possibly working together, I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation.

My core experience is in helping people explore questions about life, identity, and belonging so they can build the kind of lives they want to live. We will work together to identify your values, increase self-compassion, re-write internal narratives that no longer work for you, and address the impacts of trauma.

EMDR is a great way to address complex trauma and can also be helpful with old beliefs and stuck points that get in your way. I also tend to use a mix of modalities depending on your preferences and needs.
