About
I have over 15 years of experience working with teens and adults. My passions include treating sexual and other trauma (including complex PTSD) and providing affirming care to the LGBTQ+ (particularly transgender and nonbinary) community (ages 14+). Practicing with an eclectic approach, I borrow techniques and theory from several different areas (DBT, IFS, EMDR, Humanism and psychoeducation). My clients are partners in therapy; we work together to find what works best for each person. My clients tell me that they feel safe and valued in our sessions. I am dually licensed in both Texas and Oregon. I have experience treating mood disorders and anxiety disorders and I have specialized training in several areas, including sexual abuse/assault, complex PTSD and trauma recovery, and sexual and gender identity. I am certified in EMDR, an evidence-based treatment for trauma. I purposely keep my caseload small so that I can offer personalized care. NOTE: I provide affirming care for LGBTQ+ adolescents, adults and their families. I do not engage in or condone the use of conversion or reparative therapies as these have been proven harmful to people and are not founded in scientific knowledge.
