About My Clients
I work with adults and elders in the 2LGBTQIAP+, poly, kinky, and substance using communities. I provide a range of therapy services from general mental health and relationship concerns, such as anxiety, depression, managing stigma, miscommunications, or balancing life and the current political climate, through more specific exploration of substance use practices and modifications, and accessing gender affirming surgeries.
My Background and Approach
I’ve had 8+ years working in non-profit as a therapist and substance use counselor seeing anyone who walked in the door. My theoretical orientation comes from a combination of Narrative Therapy, Psychodynamic, Mindfulness Based CBT, STAIR, Harm Reduction, Motivational Interviewing and Relapse Prevention models, adapted with Critical Race Theory, Queer and Trans Theory, Disability Justice, Liberation and community centered approach. If you are unsure if we could work together, let’s chat and find out together! I offer a free initial 15 minute phone or video call.
