I have extensive experience working with past and present trauma/abuse issues, substance abuse, grief issues, stages of life challenges, gender identity and sexual orientation issues.
I often assist clients with concerns related to alternative lifestyles, gender expression, sexuality, BD/SM/DS, sex work, leather and ‘kink’ lifestyles. I provide a safe and professional place for people to further explore these and other issues in their lives.
My clinical approach is a combination of "Psychodynamic", (often exploring current issues in connection with early childhood experiences) and "Cognitive-Behavioral" (exploring the connection between thoughts, feelings and behaviors).
I also work with clients who have experienced trauma, including violent crime. One technique I use is Eye Movement Desensitization (EMDR), which is especially effective for clients with Acute Stress Disorder and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
