As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Nationally Board-Certified Counselor, I offer individual counseling, EMDR Therapy, Deep Brain Reorienting, Sex Therapy, and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy. I specialize in working with early childhood attachment trauma, gender identity, and relationship challenges, including interpersonal violence and sexual dysfunction. I also have extensive experience helping clients navigate Complex PTSD, Dissociative Identity Disorder, Gender Dysphoria, Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, grief and loss, self-esteem struggles, family of origin issues, and boundary setting. My approach is focused on helping you understand, manage, and express your emotions in ways that promote healing and growth.

Throughout our work together, I am committed to providing confidential, evidence-based, and individualized therapy. I take an integrative and flexible approach, drawing from different therapeutic models based on what works best for you. I am EMDRIA-Certified Therapist and hold an Advanced Certificate in Complex Trauma and Dissociation from the International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation (ISST-D). I also hold certifications in Sex Therapy and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), and frequently incorporate techniques from Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Humanistic, Psychodynamic, Interpersonal Process, Cognitive-Behavioral, Existential, Exposure Therapy, Solution-Focused, Internal Family Systems, and Mindfulness-Based approaches to ensure that therapy is tailored to your specific needs.

I am dedicated to providing gender-affirming mental health care, adhering to the standards set by WPATH (World Professional Association for Transgender Health). This commitment ensures that transgender and non-binary clients receive respectful and affirming support throughout their therapeutic journey. I prioritize creating a safe and inclusive space where clients can explore their identities and experiences without fear of judgment.

Additonally, I have extensive experience working with LGBTQIA+ individuals, including those who identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, asexual, and queer, as well as individuals in polyamorous or consensually non-monogamous relationships. I understand the unique challenges faced by these communities and offer compassionate therapy tailored to their specific needs.

At Integrative Healing Counseling Services, my approach is rooted in evidence-based techniques and a deep respect for each client’s individual journey. Together, we work towards healing, reclaiming identity, and nurturing healthier relationships. Whether you are navigating issues related to gender identity, sexual orientation, or relationship dynamics, I am here to support you in achieving your therapeutic goals with empathy and understanding.

I have been working in the mental health field since 2007, after earning my Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from the University of North Florida and remain dedicated to continuing my education and maintaining fresh skills to support my clients (who have lovingly referred to me as a “learning junkie”).
