Take Control of Your Mental Health
Individual Therapy

LGBTQIA+ Community
You may be tired of explaining what it means to be queer to your therapist. You deserve therapy where your identity is understood and affirmed. You have the right to culturally competent, affirmative care. LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy offers care that recognizes the harm of stigma and discrimination. It recognizes how heterosexism, homophobia, and transphobia can impact your daily life.
Spiritually Affirming Therapy
For many people a healthy spiritual life can play a significant role in enhancing mental health. Your healing may not involve any form of spirituality and that is equally welcome here. If desired, as we work together we may explore, grow, and integrate your spiritual practice which could include a wide variety of paths including paganism, Buddhism, other religions, or general spiritual practices such as using crystals, tarot, incense, or meditation.While addressing the concerns that bring you to therapy our goal will be to help you achieve a spiritually enriched, embodied life that you truly love. I am here to support you in exploring the sacred connection between your mind, body, heart, and spirit.
Substance Use Therapy
For many people concerned about their substance use trauma is the gateway to problematic use or dependence. For others it may be issues including depression or anxiety. Addressing the complexities of substance use requires gentle curiosity about how substances help you cope so we can develop new approaches to recovery that maximize your chance of success whether your goals are abstinence or moderation. Learning new strategies to manage your substance use can help you maintain your recovery goals.
