I bring patience, curiosity, and rigorous training, and I meet kink, poly, LGBTQ+, and unconventional lives without judgment.
Your life may look like it's working, yet something feels stuck or quietly empty. You may be successful, capable, and used to managing on your own, while privately struggling with intimacy, sexuality, or shame. Or you find it hardest to let in the people who matter most. Together we'll explore what lives beneath the surface: the defenses, conflicts, and parts of yourself that stay hidden and shape how you see yourself and relate to others. I offer a grounded space where nothing about you is too much, allowing you to love, work, and desire with greater flexibility and ease.

I specialize in issues related to LGBTQIA identity, sexual dysfunction, relationships, depression, and anxiety.
Sex & Relationship Therapy.
Navigating relationships, identity, and sexuality can be some of the most meaningful and vulnerable work we do in our lives. Whether you are looking for help with relationship issues, exploring your sexuality or gender, managing sexual dysfunction, addressing compulsive sexual behaviors, or you just need support during uncertain times, therapy can be a place to slow down, make sense of what's happening, and create meaningful change. My approach is collaborative, affirming, and practical. I draw from evidence-based therapies while tailoring treatment to your unique goals, values, and lived experiences.

LGBTQ+ affirming care, without the explaining.
Alongside my clinical license, I'm a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor and Certified Vocational Evaluator. That means when work is part of what's hurting, I can address it directly. I use CBT and solution-focused therapy: structured, practical, and aimed at change you can measure rather than open-ended talk.

Perhaps the most important variable in therapy is the relationship between client and therapist. When meeting with new clients, I aim to establish a close and accountable working relationship as a basis for ongoing growth in your life. I give and welcome a lot of feedback, which improves the therapeutic relationship.

EMDR Therapy and other somatic tools support deeper understanding, so our own best solutions become clear while increasing skills and practices that grow fulfillment.

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.
