Kink Friendly Clinicians

I enjoy working with clients who are looking to make positive changes in their life. Often my clients have recognized that they are having difficulty and want to find answers to improve the situation they are in. I work with them to develop coping skills to assist them in managing extreme emotional states and distress, as well as to develop increased interpersonal skills. By developing communication skills clients are able to improve their relationships in all areas of their lives. I have expertise working with a diverse spectrum of individuals including those in nonmainstream relationships, power exchange, polyamory, gender fluid individuals as well those with chronic mental illness. My work uses cognitive and dialectic behavior therapy, Trauma Focused-CBT, attachment theory to develop skills to manage conflicts and concerns in life and to tolerate distress and emotional states. These skills can empower you to take back your life. With over a decade of experience, I can help you build the tools you need to move forward towards the change you seek in your life. We have an office located in Concord California as well. We accept: Blue Shield, Magellan, Beacon, MHN, Contra Costa Mental Health Plan; CCMPH, and provide super-bills for the insurance plans not listed.
