Are you struggling with chronic anxious thoughts, low self-esteem, difficulty sleeping, or chronic pain syndromes? If you have been feeling stuck in physical or emotional pain, it is important to know that you are not alone in this, and that there is support available. I understand the interconnectedness of trauma, anxiety, and chronic pain. I know that these experiences can cause anger, resentment, and hopelessness, and hinder the joy and quality of life. However, they are temporary and treatable. I know this because I have been there myself.

Deep down you feel unworthy and unloved, often seeking external validation or busying yourself to distract from truly dealing with the root of your issues. You may be challenged by quiet moments with your thoughts before swirling into negative self-talk, anxiety, overwhelm, or shutdown. You desire to be more in control of your emotions but whenever you attempt to "figure things out" the spiraling and over-analyzing begin again, getting you stuck. On the outside you function just fine, but internally you are your harshest critic and believe you are a flawed human. Sometimes we need the guidance of another to remind us of our magic.

I am honored to work with humans feeling heartache inside the constraints of our modern world. Through conditioning + relational wounding, we temporarily lose touch with the deep, innate wisdom of our souls + bodies.

Do you want to shift negative patterns that are holding you back? Reduce anxiety and depression? Therapy is a relationship that allows for an exploration into the deepest realms of the self in a nurturing space where you can be honest and open.

Does this sound like you: “Even though I’ve worked towards change, I keep finding myself back in similar experiences and relationships. I'm tired of this knot in my stomach with the thoughts that don't stop, Although I can usually figure things out on my own, that isn't working this time. Sometimes I worry that maybe there's something wrong with me. I see some patterns in myself and over the years I’ve gained tools that help, but they don’t seem to reach the underlying issues. I want to take advantage of my clarity to make lasting changes; I know that I could feel more alive, connected and joyful."

I offer somatic psychotherapy, energetic, and intuitive support for working through trauma, recovering a sense of aliveness, and connecting with the wisdom that naturally moves through each of us. Our sessions often start by coming into connection, safety and regulation in the moment. Often times, the symptoms and issues we experience are rooted in dysregulation in our nervous systems. Our time is rooted in expanding resource, a sense of well being in the moment, so that more difficult material can begin to integrate.

You feel stuck. You are in your head processing everything, all-day, every-day, from your relationships to your work-life. You’re always overthinking, over-analyzing… each conversation and replaying every interaction in your mind. A never-ending loop of anxious thoughts spins through your mind. These thoughts distract you from living your life. You try to do self-care, but you can’t seem to get any relief. Instead, you feel overwhelmed with fear, guilt, and confusion. Self-doubt consumes you. It’s exhausting endlessly second-guessing yourself. Your fear and insecurities overpower you and they’re taking over your life. You feel lost.

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.
