Services
Therapy & Counseling
Clinical Supervision
Individual, relationship, and family therapy for clients in California or Pennsylcania via telehealth. By understanding how to identify and articulate your own needs you can improve the quality of your life no matter what the next steps look like.
I offer off-site virtual clinical supervision for social workers pursuing clinical licensure. Areas of focus include maintaining ethical behaviors, managing transference, culture & context, solution focused, dialectical behavioral, Gottman Method, and sex & sexuality.
Trainings & Workshops
Trainings, workshops and consultation around the following focus areas: co-parenting, sex & sexuality, relationships, foster care & adoption, and trauma. I currently facilitate a free consultation group for mental health clinicians working with non monogamous populations.
Focus Areas
Life Changes
Trauma & EMDR
Transitions - big or small - can lead to anxiety or maladaptive coping skills. Whether you are graduating from high school, dropping out of college, preparing for retirement, or grieving the loss of a pet, change causes stress.
Trauma is less about the experience and more about the reaction to the experience. Trauma tells your brain that you are in danger and creates a way to keep you safe. Sometimes this creates a pattern that is no longer necessary.
Sex & Sexuality
Most people do not get the support they need to be satisfied with their sex life, improve intimacy, or explore sexuality throughout their lifespan. I am a Kink Aware Professional with knowledge of BDSM, sex work, consensual non monogamy; as well as the impact disability has on sexuality.
Family Dynamics
Foster Care & Adoption
Codependency & Boundaries
Telling your family about your divorce? Blending a family? These dynamics can strain relationships and test your patience. Navigating parenting with a toxic ex requires a certain set of tools.
Whether you were raised in the foster care system, adopted, planning to foster/adopt, considering reaching out out to a birth family- these experiences create lots of questions about who you are and where you came from, as well as fear and anger, rejection and loss.
Enmeshed families, emotionally immature parents, micromanaging spouse? Co-dependency is disguised as love, safety and support but always drains your energy.
