About me
I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist, treating anxiety, trauma/PTSD, dissociation, and depression, plus LGBTQ+ individuals and family members.
I’ve been trained in EMDR, an effective treatment for trauma and grief, Internal Family Systems (IFS), a flexible approach which helps to resolve challenges from the past, ACT, which focuses on accepting thoughts and feelings rather than struggling with them, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people to evaluate distressing thoughts and change their behavior so life is more rewarding.
I also work with LGBTQ+ individuals and family members, including Gender Identity (exploration, transition questions, support), Sexual Orientation (questioning, internalized homophobia, discrimination), and work with parents or family members of LGBTQ+ individuals.
My strengths include a gentle, calm personality, an ability to walk with clients through past difficulties but still keep a sense of humor, and a world class ability to be nonjudgmental. I’m glad to offer a free 20 minute consultation to see if we might be a good fit. I also offer a limited number of reduced-fee slots for clients with no insurance who meet income criteria.
