I am a psychotherapist located in California specializing in LGBTQIA+ affirmative care, trauma, and mental health equity. I have over 30 years experience doing clinical work, as well as conducting education, research, supervision, and clinical work. I work with people living with chronic health and mental health conditions, with those struggling with their identity and making meaning in life, and with adults having un/expected challenges in relationships, work, and beyond. In addition, I provide Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP). My services can range from short-term problem solving and education, to supportive behavior change, to more in-depth psychotherapy. I employ a critical stance, meaning I see our individual existences in active relationship with our environment, communities, histories, cultures, and society. Please see my practice website for more detailed information. In addition to private practice, I supervise non-licensed clinicians, I am a tenured Professor of Social Work in an accredited School of Social Work, and I conduct and publish critical health research.
