As a queer-identifying therapist, I understand the unique challenges you may face. I have experience helping individuals with a history of anxiety, depression, trauma, dependency, complex relationships, and substance use. These concerns often take the form of a loss of self-control, a sense of alienation, a lack of affirming relationships, and destructive behaviors concerning family, friends, work, or self. We will explore the underlying causes of these behaviors and develop healthier ways to manage stress and build more fulfilling relationships.

My clinical experience has focused on serving those who experience anxiety, depression, family and marriage/relationship struggles, PTSD (veterans, military active duty, first responders). Most clients I see are striving to understand what they are feeling and sometimes why they are having certain symptoms. Therapeutic intervention can help guide a client to finding some of those answers and creating goals to help them live with more peace and happiness.

If you find yourself in an anxious-avoidance cycle, the good news is that anxious-avoidance is actually very treatable with exposure therapy.
We provide evidence-based CBT/Exposure Therapy for anxiety disorders, specializing in social anxiety, selective mutism, separation anxiety, panic disorder, & related issues. The goal is to live a valued life in the presence of anxiety and, to do this, we treat the anxious-avoidance cycle you may find yourself in. Anxious avoidance is when a person avoids something that makes them anxious (which is normal and expected). However, when avoidance interferes with your life and keeps you from living out your goals, that’s when avoidance (not anxiety) becomes problematic. We are specialists who can help you learn how to approach vs avoid.
