You’re holding it together on the outside, but on the inside the cracks are starting to show.
Maybe it’s the performance anxiety that paralyzes you, or the trauma that sneaks up on you at the worst possible moment.
ADHD doesn’t help either, turning a quick trip to grab feed into a two-hour escapade that ends with a reorganized tack room but no grain in sight.
You keep telling yourself, I’ve got this, but deep down, you’re tired of holding it all together with duct tape, caffeine, and a prayer.

I work with people who are used to powering through. They handle pressure, keep functioning, and often look fine from the outside, even when they are anxious, burned out, shut down, angry, overwhelmed, or running on fumes. A lot of them have gotten very good at surviving while feeling disconnected from themselves, from other people, and from the life they thought they would be living.
I help people stop white-knuckling their way through life. Therapy with me is not vague, passive, or endlessly circular. It is honest, focused, and built to create real movement.

We could be an especially good fit if you are someone looking to: better communicate within your relationships, heal trauma, identify as neurodivergent, LGBTQIA+, or explore your relationship with your body and food/exercise.
I offer a blend of different therapy styles, including EMDR, IFS, Somatics and attachment theory. This can feel like digging into the root of how you learned a behavior was effective to protect you, noticing what your nervous system is trying to communicate with you about your surroundings and relationships, or exploring how different parts of us show up.

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.
