Life is the ultimate teacher, and in my case, it sparked my passion for helping and guiding people who have experienced trauma, struggling with chronic pain, sleep and/or other mental health conditions. After serving two decades in military medicine pivoting to becoming a psychologist as my second career post-retirement seemed to be a natural choice, given my desire to help others and the growing need that I saw every day. My hope is to be able to help make the lives of others better through care and compassion that fits their needs and goals. Human beings are not one size fits all so why should therapy be?

Accepting new clients in Idaho + Alabama, and trained in EMDR and Brainspotting.
Life can be stressful and the way we cope works until it no longer does. At any point, we may experience life transitions we were not expecting. There may be a part of you wondering if perhaps it’s time for a change, to reduce stress, deal with past trauma, create a new or revised path for yourself, or to focus on healing. I believe every single person has tools that they, knowingly or not, tap into even in the toughest situations. Humans are incredibly adaptive beings and the more we have the opportunity to lean into our authentic selves, the better.

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.
