Choosing to start therapy is a courageous and empowering decision. As a therapist with experience working with diverse populations, I specialize in providing care for the LGBTQ+ community. As a proud member of this community, I offer a space where you can explore your identity and experiences with someone who truly understands the complexities of being part of this community, without needing to explain the nuances of living as part of a marginalized group. Whether it’s identity, coming out, parenting, relationships, career exploration, life transitions, expressing emotions, cumulative trauma, or addiction, I’m here to support you.
I am a compassionate therapist who combines clinical expertise with the wisdom of lived experience. Grounded primarily in somatic therapy I integrate dialectical and cognitive-behavioral techniques to support your unique journey. I help you build awareness and navigate life’s challenges with confidence and clarity.
I also specialize in treating people who stutter—a group often misunderstood and in need of a therapist who deeply comprehends their unique experiences and challenges.

Seeking Safety

Seeking Safety is a present-focused treatment for clients with a history of trauma and substance abuse. Seeking Safety focuses on coping skills and psychoeducation: (1) safety as the overarching goal (helping clients attain safety in their relationships, thinking, behavior, and emotions); (2) integrated treatment (working on both trauma or posttraumatic stress disorder(PTSD) and substance abuse at the same time); (3) a focus on ideals to counteract the loss of ideals in both trauma or PTSD and substance abuse; (4) four content areas: cognitive, behavioral, interpersonal, and case management; and (5) attention to clinician processes.
