One of my favorite quotes to live by, is "Sometimes we are tested not to show our weaknesses, but to discover our strengths." Seeking therapy should NEVER be viewed as a weakness, but rather an opportunity to develop new strengths. My belief is that the therapeutic experience should be authentic, warm, and supportive. I encourage my clients to see the benefit of developing inner strength when seeking to develop new and positive change. I specialize in children, adolescents and adults, as well as families experiencing various life difficulties that may be preventing them from realizing the best version of themselves.

Do you often feel trapped inside your mind, listening to stories you tell yourself about the way things should be, how you should think and feel, and wondering what you could be doing differently? Does this internal dialogue tend to take you out of the present, further away from what you genuinely value and care about? It is human nature to get stuck in our mind and attempt to get rid of difficult thoughts and feelings. It becomes truly problematic when we spend so much time to “win” the battle of the mind, that we may miss out on truly living. It does not have to be this hard. I am here to help.

My passion is helping individuals and couples create deeper levels of emotional and sexual intimacy. In adults, romantic love can only be truly enjoyed when partners are able to feel safe and secure in turning to each other for their needs. My role as a therapist is to create a safe and supportive space where you can explore unfamiliar and uncomfortable emotional experiences, without feeling blame, shame or judgment.

Life often feels harder than it needs to. We have so many balls in the air, and constant juggling often leads to anxiety, self-doubt, and anger.

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.
