Specializes in ADHD, Anxiety +7 moreIf you identify as polyamorous, kinky, queer/trans, or anti-capitalist, you likely know how normativity disciplines bodies, desires, and relationships. The costs of stepping outside dominant scripts can be high, especially when your ways of being or loving are labeled deviant or disordered. I believe “health” is not the same as “normal,” and that freedom is rarely granted—it must be created. Living at the edges of what’s socially sanctioned isn’t pathology; it’s often a deeply conscious and courageous choice.Next available:Mon Nov 2 @ 10PM

Specializes in Anger Issues, Anxiety +11 moreI have been in part-time private practice for the last five years. I have twenty years of experience establishing and overseeing services to various communities in Southern California. I like to find client strengths and build on them, identify naturally occurring supports so that between therapy sessions the client has support to continue on progress made. I believe that life is 10% what happens and 90% how you perceive it. I use Cognitive Behavioral techniques to identify thought distortion and utilize fact-checking to dispel thoughts not based on fact. Thoughts trigger feelings which trigger behaviors. So let's start at the root. ID unproductive thoughts and replace them with fact-based thoughts. My goal is to give you skills that go beyond your time with me. Life may not get easier but we can work together to make you stronger.Next available:Tue Nov 3 @ 6PM
