I have provided therapy for the past twenty years with clients who identify as LGBTQAI+. I am a senior therapist with excellent skills and expertise. During these critical times my exclusive focus is treating the LGBTQAI+ community and a special compassion for transgender people. I treat adults within the LGBTQAI+ who suffer from depression and anxiety; PTSD and Complex PTSD and other forms of trauma; co dependency, coming out and transitioning, relationships and family issues. I also specialize in the treatment of Dissociative Disorders. My main modalities are EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing), trauma-informed therapies, internal systems, and spiritually based methods including mindfulness and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I attempt to see the world through your lense, bring empathy and compassion to your situation and then work together to find solutions. I find re processing of trauma (EMDR) and internal work (IFS) most effective of therapies.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session, I will complete an initial intake with the expectation of building rapport, discovering your strengths and challenges and having a focus for our following session. I use a laidback approach to help you feel comfortable talking with me.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I believe my biggest strengths are my compassion, non judgmental listening, active involvement, knowledge and a broad skill set. I believe I know what motivates people to change and what prevents them from living life to its fullest. . I identify as a lesbian and sexually non conforming. I am also a Quaker, and practice the principles of recognizing the Inner LIght in every person.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

Complex trauma and LGBTQAI+ with a compassion for helping de shame stigmas, increase ability to manage stress of micro aggressions, heal trauma and treat depression and anxiety
