Every person has a unique perspective and lived experience when coming into therapy. In understanding just how different each individual situation can be, I use a variety of treatment protocols to tailor a treatment plan that best fits your situation. My goal is to provide a compassionate and non-judgmental space for clients to explore and navigate their challenges. I believe that relief can often be found in processing your thoughts and by understanding what keeps you bound in unhealthy cycles.

Your inner world is limiting your ability to feel joy and security. You feel stuck, jaded and tired. Things that seem to work for others with ease are a challenge for you. You feel alone and misunderstood. You live in a world where feeling unheard and insignificant is the norm. Your need to be accepted often makes you invisible. It disconnects you from the deeper needs of love, connection and safety. Your life looks perfect on paper but you know something is missing. You are tired of feeling this way for far too long and something, anything needs to change. Let me help!

I imagine you're searching for a therapist because mental health or relationship challenges are really starting to affect your life. Clients I work with often aim to discover a life worth living and trying to heal their relationships.

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.
