I am specially trained in Prolonged Exposure Therapy, an evidence-based treatment for symptoms of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). I perform couples, individual, and group counseling with diverse client populations, specializing in therapy with the LGBTQIA community and those living with HIV/AIDS. I take a body/sex-positive approach and am open and affirming of LGBTQIA identities, various relationship structures including polyamory/non-monogamy, and am kink aware.
