Honestly, I really love my work. Since starting in the LGBTQ+ mental health field in 2013, I've enjoyed building my niche practice. Most of my clients work with me on: identity, medical and social gender transition, gender-affirming surgery prep & letters, coming out, self-esteem, HIV/AIDS, nonmonogamy, kink, stigma, discrimination, and building healthy relationships. My liberation-focused work is collaborative, affirming, and intersectional. Beyond queer-specific issues, I also specialize in EMDR, trauma recovery, PTSD, ADHD, autism, neurodiversity, depression, anxiety, & recovery from narcissistic relationships.
I offer both EMDR (for those with trauma) and talk therapy (psychodynamic, CBT, ACT, attachment-focused). In traditional talk therapy, we'll note how your past impacts your present, and learn coping and communication tools together. In EMDR, we'll use special protocols & exercises to decrease triggers/trauma responses.
It is so important that you feel good about the therapist you end up working with (whether it's me or someone else!). Talking to different providers and getting a feel for their vibe is a great way to see what feels right for you. Feel free to set up a consultation call so we can chat and you can ask me any questions you might have.
