After 27 years as a high school teacher, I followed my long-held interest and returned to school to become a licensed social worker (LMSW) and a substance abuse counselor (CASAC.) I work with clients who are suffering from anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, substance abuse, ADHD/ADD and I also work with couples. I primarily use CBT, ACT and DBT. Data shows that most people who experience substance use disorders also meet the criteria for a mental health disorder such as depression, anxiety, attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (70-80%), or some form of trauma (50%.) Treating substance abuse means treating the whole person.

Despite all of your efforts to make changes in your life you may still find yourself unhappy, discouraged, and lost. We often develop ways to distance ourselves from our emotional pain. While these strategies undoubtedly can provide temporary relief, they never heal the origin of our underlying pain in any profound way. In my opinion, meaningful change comes from honestly addressing and healing the core issue(s) of our lives. As we all know, honestly facing ourselves can be a tricky and difficult process. It takes courage, determination, and a willingness to be open and vulnerable to heal. This can be very difficult to do alone.

At QuIPP, we are queer, non-binary, depth-oriented, feminist, and trauma-informed. Our therapeutic approaches include CBT, DBT, and psychodynamic and we seek to explore the deep impacts of others (familial, peer, and social) on the minds and spirits of our clients. Our clinical areas of expertise include: gender & sexuality, trauma, transition related support, and poly/kinky & sex positivity. Given that trauma and emotional pain often originate within relationships, we take a relational (and deeply compassionate) approach to therapy.

Are you finding yourself in a pattern of repetitive behaviors that often interfere with your relationships/self-esteem? This may look like: relationships characterized by high conflict or codependency; periods of intense self-shaming/negative self-talk; emotional reactivity; or may show up as self-harming behaviors. If you are looking to receive non-judgmental care focused on building self-esteem and improving emotional regulation, you are in the right place! I have experience working specifically with young adults 18-35, the LGBTQ+ community and those diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder or PTSD.

Hi. Are you feeling overwhelmed and anxious? Are you feeling disconnected from others and having a difficult time communicating needs and desires to loved ones? I can help with that. I have been working with people on communication and negotiation of needs for many years. Being raised in a foster home, by my adopted parents, has helped my gain skills that I would not have had the opportunity to acquire otherwise, such as, accepting everyone for who they are and where they come from regardless of their background.

There are moments in your life when you wake up and find yourself filled with unexplainable dread, unrelenting anger or sadness. As a parent or a partner you try to offer the best of you and yet the feeling of failure or lack of satisfaction is often there. What if you could have a space which could help you find a way to understand these things, find an answer, a solution? What if your child has difficulties making friends, is unmotivated to do the homework, isolates more, maybe even starts to lie? What if he/she needs that space as well? It can be challenging to be an adult but growing up, can be difficult as well.

Waitlist for new clients
I am accepting new clients on a short waitlist depending on availability. Our world can make daily life feel disorienting, but a life worth living is possible. For those of us who are neurodivergent, feel overwhelming emotions, or have marginalized identities, keeping it all together can feel like a full-time job. I know the feeling. We live in a world of interconnected systems that serve to help us but also hold us back in many ways. Psychotherapy can offer emotional containment and validation, shift attachment styles, and allow us to say out loud what we thought was unsayable. I see clients 15+ years old.
