(she/her)
Immediate openings beginning January 1st. I have provided therapy for the past twenty years with clients who identify as LGBTQAI+. 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, ASD, ADHD 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 IFS informed therapy, narrative therapy, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing), trauma-informed therapies and traditional psychotherapy. I find re processing of trauma (EMDR) most effective of therapies for deep healing work of trauma. I provide individual therapy for adults age 18 to 80. I also support and am familiar with 12 step recovery.
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.
I believe my biggest strengths are my compassion, non judgmental listening, active involvement, extensive knowledge of trauma and trauma informed therapies. I believe I know what motivates people to change and what help them live from their authentic Self. I use parts work to help heal childhood and adult traumas. I believe trauma is held in the body and so help clients regulate their own body systems.
serving the LGBTQAI community, trauma informed therapy, with a special concern for transgender clients. Clients who are willing to put in the time and effort and be responsible for their own recovery/therapy journey are welcome. Clients who have tried talk therapy without any substantial results and want to work with other alternative therapies. Clients who have extreme trauma including dissociative identity disorder or other dissociative disorders.
