Interventions are strength based focusing on the positive attributes that can be a source of support while working on the more difficult issues that may be interfering with you taking charge of and living your best life.

Therapy is a journey of self-exploration and as long as you are open to traveling down that road then I am open to helping you explore it. The Ideal client just has to be willing to look themselves in the mirror and believe that change is a real thing. I have treated and worked with a variety of clients who present with varying issues and life stress. I have treated severe major mental health issues as well as everyday social problems.

Does life have you feeling anxious? Depressed? Overwhelmed? Do you want a way to work through these feelings but you're struggling to identify coping mechanisms to overcome them? If so, I can help you develop these skills, improve self esteem, and improve your outlook on life. I believe that therapy works best when the client directs the session.

Finding a therapist who is personable, down-to-earth, and experienced and skilled in proven therapies can be a challenge. My belief, supported by research, is that the most effective therapy is borne out of a strong, trusting relationship. Despite therapy raising difficult emotions, my clients have commented on their enjoyment of our work together. They express gratitude for my caring and easy going nature, and express confidence in my ability to help them achieve greater satisfaction in their lives. My clients continually recommended me to colleagues and friends because of these characteristics.

Navigating the process of finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming.

Together, we'll forge a nurturing space where you can courageously delve into the complexities of your present challenges, past experiences, and relational dynamics. I recognize that familiarity sometimes traps us, even when it no longer serves our well-being. My role is to illuminate the origins of these patterns and guide you toward pathways to a more enriching existence.

LGBTQ+ Therapists
Do LGBTQ-affirmative therapists receive special training?
Yes. Many therapists who practice LGBTQ-affirmative therapy have completed specialized training, either during their degree program or as continuing education, to learn the core principles of affirmative therapy and how to best support their LGBTQ clients; some have received certifications in LGBTQ-affirmative therapy. Prospective clients should inquire as to a clinician’s background and training to ensure a good fit.
Why might I want to see an LGBTQ-affirming or LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
Queer and gender-non-conforming individuals frequently experience bias and marginalization in day-to-day life. Working with a therapist who understands these unique challenges, as well as accepts and affirms their identity, can help LGBTQ clients feel safe and supported during therapy—allowing them to better navigate their relationships, mental health, and anything else that they wish to explore during therapy. It is important to note that many therapists can be effective in their work with LGBTQ+ individuals, even in the absence of specific training or background knowledge. The most important component in therapy is the alliance between therapist and client, and this alliance can exist between individuals with very different backgrounds.
How can I find an LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
You may wish to inquire about a therapist’s expertise with your specific challenges or concerns—depression, for example, or relationship strife—as well as their past experiences treating LGBTQ+ clients. Prospective clients may also ask whether a therapist has obtained additional training and/or certification in LGBTQ-affirmative techniques.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience with LGBTQ issues?
Prospective clients should feel empowered to directly ask therapists whether they have received training or been certified in LGBTQ-affirming therapy; competent therapists will be happy to explain their educational background and preferred approach(es) to help a client find the best match for them. Clients may also wish to ask how a therapist has treated clients with their particular challenges in the past and what they expect treatment to look like.
Are all the therapists listed in the LGBTQ directory themselves members of the LGBTQ community?
While therapists may choose to disclose their sexual orientation or gender identity in their profiles, the LGBTQ directory features not only those who have shared this information but also those who assert specialized training or experience in providing support to queer individuals, couples or families.
