Working together, the goal would be to decrease the moods and behaviors present with life changes, managing activities of daily living with as much ease as possible, starting up again if we relapse in our behaviors and moods, working jointly until a good enough resolution has been established.

Have you reached a point where you’re tired of holding everything together while quietly feeling overwhelmed inside? Many of the individuals I work with struggle with anxiety, overthinking, people pleasing, relationship stress, and major life transitions while trying to balance family, cultural, or personal expectations. You may appear fine on the outside, yet internally feel emotionally drained, stuck in unhealthy patterns, or disconnected from your own needs. Therapy can be a space to slow down, better understand yourself, build healthier boundaries, and feel more grounded and confident in your relationships and daily life.

Do you feel as though something is holding you back from having the life you hoped for? You're not alone. It may feel like everyone else has it all figured out but many successful people struggle with negative thoughts, self-criticism and anxiety, silently coping after traumatic experiences have shaken their very sense of self and grappling with wounds that make relationships feel complicated and trust elusive. How do we free ourselves from our hurt, anger and shame from the past and our fear for the future? How do we find peace and clarity within? How do we protect our hearts AND open our hearts?

I have specialized training in psychedelic integration, psychoanalytic psychotherapy & LGBTQ affirmative therapy.
People often seek therapy with me because they long for a deeper sense of connection—with themselves, others, or the world around them. You may find yourself overthinking interactions, second-guessing decisions, struggling to assert your needs, or holding yourself to impossibly high standards. Perhaps you lose yourself in relationships, prioritize others at your own expense, or feel stuck repeating the same painful patterns. Therapy offers a space to understand these struggles and begin creating new ways of relating to yourself & others. As old patterns shift, there is often more room for authenticity, connection, & lasting relief.

Therapy should be client-focused & should occur in an atmosphere of warmth & safety. My style is caring, creative and non-judgmental. A trusting relationship between client and therapist is essential for successful outcomes in therapy. Through this relationship, clients can explore the emotional challenges that they are facing. With the help of an empathic therapist, one can begin to gain awareness of unconscious emotional patterns, feelings & beliefs. Through the processing of this unconscious material, old wounds can be healed and the client can gain insight that equips them to create a life that is more satisfying and meaningful.

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.
