The people I spend time with are professional, intelligent and usually on the edge of making the next best step towards health, success or a healthy relationship. Often times, the barrier for them is self doubt, behaviors that no longer work (addiction, eating, over-working) and/or "not having enough time." Many of my clients are counselors, therapists or others in the helping profession. I am a strong ally of the LGBTQ community and have many clients who identify within this community. You can expect that I will work hard to understand you and utilize my experience and knowledge to assist our work together. I use a variety of informed and educated skill sets to inform our work together including trauma informed, LGBTQ specific care, gender specific research and mindfulness/body based strategies. My experience is in working with people who struggle with relationships, addiction, partners of addicts, distorted body image and negative self talk. I use a type of therapy called EMDR to address unhelpful negative beliefs and trauma. I am a board approved supervisor for LMFT/LPC/LPCC and offer EMDR supervision with an addiction specialization.
