Licensed Clinical Social Worker

​

Are you exhausted, burned out or at your wits end? Do you feel sad, lost and low in energy? Do you struggle with trauma and/or have you struggled with the hidden wounds of a difficult childhood? Are you a member of the LGBTQIA+ community and feel scared or uncertain of the world due to current events? I may be able to provide help, safety and support.

​

I specialize in helping adolescents and adults who struggle with symptoms related to post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety and complex developmental trauma. As a transgender woman, I strongly support and enjoy working with the LGBTQIA+ community, particularly transgender individuals. I deeply believe in the potential of all people and hope to provide a safe, encouraging, positive and open-minded setting for individuals so they can heal and grow into the person they deserve to be.

​

I approach psychotherapy from an eclectic and highly collaborative lens. The core focus of my work is on the client and the therapeutic relationship. I feel no work can develop unless this is grown and nourished. I frequently make use of motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-focused psychotherapy and dialectical behavioral therapy to name a few. As someone who enjoys research and dynamic models of care, I am also trained in several neurologically-oriented trauma interventions, such as Brainspotting, EMDR, Developmental Needs Meeting Strategy and Internal Family Systems. These interventions appear to swiftly and effectively target deep unhealed trauma and resolve internal wounds.

​

When I'm not in session, you will often find me in the woods foraging wild fruit or mushrooms or working on a novel I have been writing for years. I also spend a lot of time with the LGBTQA+ community, so you may find me at an event or fundraiser.

​

If anything you have read so far potentially resonates with you and you feel you're ready to start your path of healing, consider giving me a call. I would love to speak with you and be part of your journey.
