Hi there! Taking the initiative to find a therapist shows you are ready for a change. Whether you have been in therapy before or are just starting the process, I hope to provide you with the support you are looking for. My approach to therapy is trauma-informed and warm, using various modalities such as CBT, IFS or Gottman Methods depending on your goals. Clients I work with are from all different backgrounds across the lifespan but I have a particular passion for working with the LGBTQIA+ community and couples. Many clients start therapy with me when feeling stuck in their current maladaptive coping or relational patterns.

Having worked for universities, community agencies, hospitals, and psychiatric institutions, I am experienced working with a diverse clientele in terms of gender, age, ethnicity, nationality, race, religion, LGBTQIA status, political affiliation, socioeconomic status, people with disabilities, and people with multiple psychiatric disorders and substance abuse.
I bet you've probably spent a good deal of time sifting through the sea of clinicians listed on this website, and let me tell you, it is a beast. Finding a good therapist is like dating. Who looks smart? Who seems warm and compassionate? Who's attractive? Nobody is perfect, but you don't want to settle either. Perhaps they have great insight and are very pedigreed, but don't seem particularly warm or approachable. Or vice versa. What to do? Shop around until you find a proper match. You are unique. Not every therapist may suit you.

I have experience with culturally diverse populations, disabilities and LGBTQIA+.
People often struggle with issues during their lifetimes. Some are persistent, others are for a season. Sometimes we feel stuck, bored, or trapped in cycles of living and thinking. Sometimes life throws something unexpected at us, and we need a helper to find our way through. How we view the challenge, our thinking regarding it, and what we choose to believe about it impacts our ability to approach solutions, actions or resolutions. Mindful introspection, understanding what we tell ourselves, and believe about these issues can help to re-write our solutions to the challenges life can bring.

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.
