Hobbs offers affirming therapy for many marginalized communities, including neurodivergent individuals, the LGBTQIA+ community, those practicing ethical non-monogamy, and alternative faiths. Hobbs is sex-positive and kink-allied, seeks fat liberation, and is body-affirming. They can assist spiritual and faith-based clients. Their practice continually evolves toward decolonization, with therapeutic techniques and modalities tailored to the client’s unique needs.
Hobbs is EMDR trained, experienced in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) with a focus on radical acceptance, Solution-Focused Therapy (clarifying goals), Existential Therapy (exploring identity), Somatic Therapy (integrating mind and body), and, when requested, neuroscience-based approaches to understanding biological roots.
Hobbs practices from a trauma-informed and culturally sensitive perspective, witnessing clients holistically—mind, body, and soul. Their goal is to provide a safe and supportive space for clients to explore their stories, attachments, and emotions while working together to find meaning, purpose, and strength in times of confusion, grief, and trauma.

The insurance industrial complex limits access to affordable mental health and limits what an LAC therapist can bill. If your insurance doesn't work, find me on Open Path, an affordable cash-based option.

I meet you where you are. We become regulated and ready for the hard challenges ahead. Then move into the highly uncomfortable: finding your authentic self, accepting what you can, changing what is possible, and placing boundaries around the rest. You are more than just labels and identity. They are only part of the whole, and a facet of what you are becoming.

I love to hear your story and discover the meaning and purpose that motivates you. I use DBT, ACT, EMT, and EMDR as tools to motivate self-action and growth toward an authentic self. Arching over all of this is substantial social justice practice and a radical lens that holds the affirming space.
