I am kink, LGBTQIA+, and sex worker allied.
It's amazing how often the answer is to value yourself and to be healthily selfish! The people that do best with me tend to be working on trauma, an eating disorder, boundary setting and relationship issues, and/or general anxiety.

Clients that I see often report the following concerns: hurtful patterns that keep recurring, reactions to triggers that seem automatic and outside their control, boundaries that are difficult to keep, and/or stories of themselves that keep circulating in their head - even if they are untrue or hurtful. They want differently for themselves in such a deep way, but they aren't sure how to create the change and make it long-lasting. Traumas from their past might keep echoing in the present. Or they find themselves resentful or unhappy with their current relationships. ALL of these things can be improved. With work.

I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. I want to help you achieve whatever solutions and life changes that you are looking for while enjoying the process as much as possible. Simply, I do not feel that therapy process and the journey have to be painful. I know it can be scary but the life you deserve is starting with a phone call to see how I can best help. I trust the process and look forward to working with you to find peace.

On paper, it seems that you have it altogether. On the inside, you feel overwhelmed, stuck, ashamed, and afraid. Each day presents new challenges for accomplishing tasks you used to perform with ease. When you picture your future, you feel terrified and uncertain. You want to get back to enjoying life, but your efforts go unappreciated. You doubt yourself and wonder if you're the problem in relationships. You want a therapist who understands how to help you move forward with confidence. I am your person. I will help you become the CEO of your own life by trusting yourself again and changing repeated patterns that don't serve you.

Sometimes, our situations may leave us feeling stuck, lost, and not in control of our lives. Other times, we may be at a standstill in our relationships, feeling unheard and uncertain of how to move forward. These moments deceive us into believing we are incapable and incomplete. I am passionate about exploring the harmful beliefs we have about ourselves and our circumstances. I embrace the inevitability of conflict in relationships and believe there is always a means to resolution. My desire is that you leave therapy with a perspective that is empowering and uplifting.

I'm a fairly relaxed therapist who can both create an emotionally comfortable atmosphere and talk about really difficult things. These type of issues may include sexuality, gender, relationship challenges, organization or motivation difficulties, or being neurospicy. The prevailing issue with most of these is anxiety, or anxiety-linked depression. This usually needs to be handled, along with an overarching problem or reality that exists. People want to be able to feel better, get along better with their loved ones, be able to succeed, and enjoy life.

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.
