I do not use AI or facial recognition ever. Pro-Palestine/LGBTQ+/BLM/sex positive/body diversity/sex workers/kink. I specialize in healing from the expected responses to trauma/harm/minority hostility. My training, both academic and visceral experiences, have created an eclectic therapeutic approach that values empowerment, self-direction, emotional safety, validation, dignity, and respect above all else. I believe when the client and therapist collaborate together, with genuine care and respect in an environment of consistent emotional safety, centering the client’s goals, great strides can be made in the healing/recovery process.
I am a Certified Trauma Professional. I have specialized training in the neurological impact from trauma/harm, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)/Advanced DBT, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Empowerment Model, Strength Based Perspective, Recovery from Addictive Illnesses, Exposure/Impact of Violence, Healing from Sexual Trauma, and Forensic Screening.
My purpose is to treat my clients the same way in which I want to be treated. I highly value my client's ethnic/cultural/gender/sexual/body/neural diversity, celebrate the fact that our brains are unique to each one of us, and that gender and sexuality exists on a spectrum. We should ALL feel cherished and be respected for who we are as our authentic selves.

I assess each individual prior to making any clinical recommendations for modalities of treatment available in order to provide the client with the choices she/he/they can then make according to their preferences. I also provide referrals when a treatment modality is outside the area of my expertise. Self determination is highly valued and is utilized in making choices about therapeutic models.
