At Inner-Evolution I lead Dialectical Behavior Therapy ( DBT) skills class in addition to providing individual and couples therapy.
We all have that voice in our heads saying we are not good enough, not attractive enough, not capable, or somehow inferior. A lifetime of living in a normative culture that dismisses or marginalizes our identities and individuality has led a lot of us to feel uncertain, frightened, anxious, depressed, or struggling with other mental health issues.I am a gender affirming queer positive therapist with a lifelong commitment to social justice that includes advocating for access to mental health care for all.

We will work together utilizing narrative therapy, CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, trauma focused therapy or mindfulness practices to unlock your full potential.
The journey you are on is far greater than the season you are walking through. Adjusting to life in a post pandemic world has left many learning to cope with the unknown; unknown stress, unknown career paths, unknown relationships, unknown trauma, unknown sense of self. Sometimes these unknowns cause increased anxiety, depressive states, low self esteem, stress in relationships and loss of direction. You are capable of embracing your unknowns to build your new life, even if it appears to be far different than you planned. You have the power. We just need to grow it.

I am a sex-positive, kink-knowledgeable, trauma therapist who utilizes an integrative approach incorporating CBT, CPT, DBT, with an attachment/relational approach.
Therapy is a healing journey. Should that be in your personal relationships, within yourself, or both. Talking about sex has varying levels of comfort for everyone. Some folks are seeking to understand their difficulties with arousal, may be exploring their erotic preferences (i.e., kink and BDSM), may want to process their feelings about sex after sexual trauma, or want to learn how to communicate with their partner about sexual needs and desires. Life is hard and there can be many things weighing on your mind that influences your sexual wellbeing. Having an authentic self and sexual self is crucial to your overall mental health.

My clinical approach includes aspects of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Gottman Method, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy.
Starting with a new therapist can be a daunting experience for those who have never done it before and even for those who have. Finding the right therapist that you connect with and can build a great relationship with is key to not only making a change, but also to feeling heard and accepted. I do my best to ensure clients feel comfortable to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a safe environment without judgment. Taking these first steps can be hard and I seek to make this process easier and less daunting for you. (Not currently accepting insurance for couple's therapy)
