Hi there! Sometimes life can be emotionally and mentally exhausting. We give so much energy to our roles as a father, mother, wife, co-worker, daughter, son, etc, that we forget to pour back into ourselves. I believe self-care is not an indulgence, but a means of self preservation. Allow me to provide a safe haven where you can just focus on YOU! Stress is inevitable, but change is possible, its time to put you first!

I have found it an honor to play a role in the lives of those who have entrusted me with the truth of their internal world and the unique experiences that shape and enrich their lives. I always am amazed as I hear stories of pain and obstacles and strengths from clients. While it is intense work at times, it is very rewarding for clients to encounter the experiences of the past and present with support in the "here and now". Helping those with a history of trauma, losses/grief and the after-effects like depression, anxiety, dissociation and addiction, and relationship issues is very meaningful to me. Healing is possible!

It's hard to find someone who understands. It's hard showing people the real you. You're tired of being strong, but you've never been given any other choice. You're tired of wearing a mask, but you're afraid of what you'd find if you took the mask off. Perhaps you compare yourself to others and feel like you're supposed to be better or do better than you're doing. You're tired of feeling like you don't fit in, and you're sure that the only people in your life are only there because they don't know the real you. If any of these statements resonate with you, you've come to the right place.

You're googling for a therapist because you just don't know what else to do to help your teenager or you're in your 20s/30s and questioning a lot of decisions you’ve made. You’re full of worry, constant thinking, sleepless nights, or you just want to shut out everyone. For families, I work with teens who feel depressed (for some it looks like anger) and parents who feel like their child is “closing off the world.” For adults, I work with millennials that are unsure about their substance use, unhappy with their relationships, or experiencing depressive symptoms.

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.
