I want to help you be YOU. I want to help you find your voice, your agency, and your strengths. The better we know ourselves—the more honest we are with ourselves—the better we can make change. People are nuanced, complex, and more capable than we realize; the tools you need are already there, and I want to help you use them.

Emotional and behavioral challenges in childhood and adolescence affects the child and rest of the family unit as well. Caregivers often find themselves heartbroken while they watch their child struggle through issues they wish they could take away, and if the child is acting out behaviorally, it is common for caregivers to even feel hurt and confused. I offer therapy services for children ages 3 and up, as well as adults and families for the diagnosis and treatment of emotional, relational, and behavioral concerns, as well as offer support services and psychoeducation to their caregivers and other family members.

The core of my counseling approach is to provide an environment that is comfortable, judgment free, and prioritizes your mental health. I don’t believe in trying to “fix people”, rather support their journey alongside them. My office is a place to explore life’s ups and down, discuss coping skills that resonate with you, and a place where we can grow with each other. There is no “one size fits all” in counseling so getting to know you; your interest, your learning style, your strengths, helps me pull from therapeutic theories and techniques to best fit your needs and goals.

I am passionate about facilitating growth within clients' marriages, love relationships, parent-child relationships, and any other relationships they wish to strengthen.

I have experience working with adopted and kinship families, plus young LGBTQ+ individuals and their families.
I am accepting new clients and have availability now with no waitlist. Every young person should have the opportunity to reach their potential however stressors and challenges can cause barriers that prevent this. As a child and adolescent therapist, I create an open and safe environment where a young person has the freedom to explore their developing awareness of themselves and their place in the world around them. Having an accepting space where individuals feel seen and heard promotes an individual’s own capacity for self-healing, growth, and change.

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.
