As I myself am a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I aim to assist this population as well as their family, friends, and society in order to create a space where individuals feel safe and welcomed for who they truly are.
Discovering who we are is a process that can begin at any stage of life. I’ve made it my mission to work with people of all ages to navigate the complicated course of discovering who they are. My passion is to help people navigate the often intimidating waters of gender identity, sexuality, relationships, self-esteem, and other matters that are a part of our lives. I specialize in LGBTQ+ related matters, and work with queer individuals and their allies in order to make sure they can have fulfilling relationships and experiences.

My strengths-based approach combines cognitive and dialectical behavioral therapy, solution-focused techniques and holistic ways to treat your entire being including mind, body, and spirit. My approach also embraces a positive view of queer identities and relationships while addressing the negative influences that homophobia, transphobia, and heterosexism have on the lives of the LGBTQ community. I personally understand there can be complicated feelings towards your own sexuality/gender identity along with the struggles of being a queer person of color, and can help you navigate these adversities.

I specialize in individuals and couples, family members of the LGBTQ+ community, relationship issues, women’s issues, PCOS, sex/intimacy, body image work, anxiety, depression, and trauma.
Okay, by now you may have read a bunch of profiles and may be feeling overwhelmed. But you’re doing it, you’re taking steps to take care of yourself and that’s what matters. The world is messy, life is messy, but you don’t have to handle it alone. Here’s where I come in. I will never forget you are a real person sitting across from me and I will meet you where you are. Sometimes that means supporting you and validating your experience. Sometimes it's guiding you to shift your perspective. But, no matter what, it's always coming from a place of support, collaboration and maybe even some humor.

I firmly believe that life is easier lived when lived in relationship. In relationship, we can receive support, understanding, growth, and acceptance, making difficult life experiences much more bearable. We find and make relationships in so many domains; at home, with friends, in communities, and even with a therapist. That is why I think finding a therapist you feel safe with is so important.

I offer guidance in your journey of rediscovering unconditional love for self and the world. I help you have compassion for challenging feelings by acknowledging how these feelings are separate from our inner spirit and thus don’t define our worth. It becomes easier to accept these feelings by also acknowledging that they have a purpose of self protection and therefore come from a place of love. Acceptance of feelings allows us to return to nurturing our bodies through somatic practices and reach a state of joy in the present moment for our blessings. I hope I can reignite the light already in you so it can shine brighter

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.
