My style is warm, active, and authentic. I welcome laughter and questions in therapy. Having worked in LGBTQ social services and public health for over 20 years, I am sensitive to the stressors and challenges that come with living outside of hetero/ cisgender norms.  I also work to recognize racist, sexist, classist assumptions of mental health that undermine wellness. 

​

I am a trained EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) practitioner and have found this  therapy  empowering and helpful to clients experiencing symptoms of trauma & anxiety.  I also incorporate the following approaches in my work:

​

• Psycho-dynamic

• Cognitive-Behavioral 

• Harm Reduction

​

As a Queer-identified parent, I am also happy to support clients around a variety of topics including coming out, physical/social transition & Queer parenthood.
