Business Excerpt
You want what anyone else coming to therapy wants: To be seen and heard without having your orientation and lifestyle choices pathologized or even unduly focused on. You don’t want to have to teach what terminology means or deal with someone being shocked by your relationships and sexual activities. The focus should be on what is important to you, not what’s “fascinating” to some therapist. Maybe the work you are coming in to focus on has to do with this part of your life and maybe it doesn’t; either way, you deserve a therapist who can hold and affirm this part of your identity. I am proud to say I am LGBTQIA, Polyamory (and other forms of consensual non-monogamy), and Kink/BDSM affirmative in my work!
Business Description

My first passion is helping people, and I’m interested in working with a variety of patients, so even if you don’t identify with the list below, feel free to reach out. However, the below represent issues in which I have a special interest and experience:

Trauma and Stress-Related disorders

Trauma and the disorders it causes are complex; you need a unique plan that will work for you, in the exact situation of your life and mind. As a trauma-informed therapist, I will work collaboratively with you and adjust our treatment based on your needs and your specific trauma. Perhaps you need to front load coping so you can build functionality in your life. Maybe you need a safe and understanding space to process your traumatic experiences. Whatever your specifics needs are, you are worthy of a therapist who will trust you to lead the way, while teaching you that you can trust yourself as well. I utilize strategies from wholistic treatments modalities including: mindfulness, gestalt and EMDR.

Obsessive/Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

You can change the pattern of intrusive thoughts that seem to be constantly plaguing you. You don’t have to keep engaging in the compulsive behaviors and rituals that feel like they are running your life. You have everything you need inside of you to break the wall of anxiety that has gotten in the way of living your fullest life. You just need someone to help you to break your old patterns and move forward. I can be your guide, using Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) therapy. ERP is the gold standard in treating OCD. After a thorough assessment, we will create a plan around your specific obsessive thoughts, triggers, and compulsive responses. You will see rapid results from this highly effective treatment. Then not only will you discard these behaviors, you will continue to get the support you deserve to explore and uncover where this unhelpful and often painful behavioral pattern came from, providing you with the insight you need to keep it from returning.

Dissociative Disorders 

Have yous seen therapists before but the techniques they are asking you to use not only do not work, but also do not really make a ton of sense to you?  Therapists are poorly trained in, and bad at spotting dissociation.  You are so deserving of a clinician that can spot and understands how to work with this all too prevalent presentation of distress.  Maybe you are dealing with another major mental health struggle and dissociation is just an element of it or maybe you have a more specific and structured dissociative system - I know how to spot and work with dissociation.  You should have the kind of therapy that can actually help you and your system.
