Hello, There is hidden potential for greatness in all persons. Often when you have thoughts or feelings that are causing problems for you, it is easy to think something is wrong with you. There is nothing wrong with you. You are perfect, it is that part of your mind that needs to be fixed and I would love to help you do that. I truly love helping families be strong units. There are no "bad children," only bad behavior. In both children and adults, bad behavior often comes from unmet needs and fears. With children, it could also come from undiagnosed learning disabilities. Let's figure this out together.

Life often moves at a fast pace, leaving little time to reflect on all we've experienced—especially in times of change or grief. Whether you're navigating trauma, depression, anxiety, or just feel disconnected, it can be helpful to have a space where you can slow down and process. Therapy offers just that—a dedicated space to explore your experiences, both the small moments and the significant life changes, so you can better understand what's going on inside.

Do you know what it’s like to carry pain while still trying to hold everything together?

After a medical diagnosis most of the focus is on curing the patient. Medical teams often don't spend much time helping their patients adjust to a difference in their abilities or stamina, the stress on relationships, changes in appearance, or any of the many other adjustments people have to make. When treatment is finished it can feel like freedom, but for many it feels as if you've been dropped. No one wants to talk about what you've been through or they expect you to be "all better" just like before. This can leave someone feeling hollow and broken. It doesn't have to stay that way.

One of the hardest parts of therapy is making that first call. You’re realizing that something needs to change in your life or maybe you’ve been thinking about therapy for a while and now you’re having to find that right fit on your own. It can feel difficult to make those moves, especially when you’re feeling down or lost. You deserve to feel heard, held, and empowered.
Often, we find ourselves in patterns we desperately want out of. I work with individuals who struggle to cope emotionally or with keeping up with daily life.

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.
