About

Hi there! I am an EMDR-trained therapist specializing in bereavement, panic disorder, PTSD, and LGBTQ+ concerns. Broadly, I consider myself an expert in trauma -- how it affects the body and mind, as well as how to learn new ways of coping with that impact. More specifically, I do a lot of work with highly-anxious individuals, helping them to find the source of their anxiety and discover ways of addressing it. EMDR can be useful in uncovering these sources and adapting to them in healthy ways. In terms of specific concerns, many of the people I work with have experienced some sort of "health trauma" -- trauma related to illness/injury, its treatment (including hospitalization and surgery), and death (terminal illness or bereavement after loss). I also have over a decade of experience supporting queer people in a variety of capacities, and have been successful in helping people through the coming out process, relationship issues, and HIV/AIDS diagnosis.
