Specialties
I work with a variety of people and presenting issues. In addition, I have specialized experience working with particular populations.
LGBTQIA+ Affirmative Therapy
LGBTQIA+ affirmative therapy addresses the unique emotional and mental health needs of the queer community as well as provides acceptance and support. Having an affirming therapist can result in a more validating experience and a more authentic and trusting therapeutic relationship, which in turn can lead to more depth, healing, and growth.
Substance Abuse Recovery
Treatment for those in recovery from substance abuse. Oftentimes, history of substance abuse is not the primary reason for seeking therapy, but it is still important to have a competent therapist who is aware of the complexities of being in recovery and of being part of the sober community.
Adolescents experience unique challenges that may be better addressed with a therapist than with parents/caregivers. It’s imperative that your teen feels comfortable with and trusts their therapist. I will make sure your child feels safe to explore and share with me.
