Hello! Do you identify as LGBTQIA? Are you struggling to find a therapist who understands your lived experience and the unique challenges the LGBTQIA community is currently facing? I am a member of the LGBTQIA community and have 25 years of experience in mental health and allied fields. As a retired attorney, I also bring a special perspective to working with attorneys and other professionals who are struggling with work-life balance and/or addiction issues. I see therapy as a partnership. I take a client-centered and trauma-informed approach. I find fulfillment in helping clients recover from trauma and addiction, as well as, develop healthy relationships. I specialize in CBT, DBT, EMDR, and mindfulness. I would be honored to help you achieve your mental health goals. Let's schedule a time to talk soon! Jenn
We will spend our first session getting to know each other. You will have an opportunity to ask me about my experience and approaches to treatment, as well as share what brings you to treatment and what you hope to achieve from our work together.
I believe my biggest strengths are my personal knowledge of the challenges facing the LGBTQIA and legal professional communities and my training as a social worker which taught me taught me to always consider how environmental stressors affect a client.
LGBTQIA, Professionals struggling with addiction and work-life balance issues, and trauma survivors.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is a very effective way of addressing of anxiety, depression and trauma. We will work together to understand how your thoughts impact your emotions and behavior and find new ways to manage automatic and intrusive negative thoughts.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I find DBT to be a great way to assist clients who are struggling with managing their emotions and their relationships.
EMDR
EMDR is an innovative and effective treatment for trauma that does not require clients to relive their trauma.
