My clients are adults experiencing grief or trauma related to death, relationship loss, illness, pet loss, job change, divorce, life transitions, or identity disruption. They often feel angry, overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of who they are now—and may not even realize that what they are experiencing is grief. Mostly, they are simply tired of carrying and processing alone. Together, we work in a compassionate space where we can speak openly, feel deeply, and begin making sense of what has happened. Through this work, we restore emotional steadiness and reconnect with meaning, even though life may look different than before.

Counseling for me is about companionship! Companions are with you through the good and the not-so-good. The most important thing in counseling is creating a relationship where people can feel and think how they want to about their experience within the relationship because whether we are stepping in the right or wrong direction we are ever growing and changing. Everyone perceives life through a different lens. Biological, physiological, and environmental variables influence those perspectives in different domains of people’s lives. All ages with: Anxiety, Depression, Addictions, Schizo and Mood Spectrum, Paraphallic, and Trauma.

My ideal clients are teens and adults who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, relationship challenges, emotional dysregulation, anger, or patterns that leave them feeling stuck. I also enjoy working with individuals who experience intense emotions, difficulties in relationships, fear of abandonment, identity concerns, or other challenges commonly associated with borderline personality disorder. Many clients come to therapy feeling exhausted from carrying their struggles alone and wanting a safe place to better understand themselves, heal from past experiences, and create meaningful change.

Reaching out for help in the form of therapy is not an easy thing to do as many can attest, but by reading this biography, you are taking the first step in getting help for yourself or a loved one. At times, life offers many struggles and obstacles that can be difficult to overcome alone. Engaging in therapy will provide opportunities to explore and process the thoughts and feelings that prevent you from living your best life. Though the thought of therapy may be intimidating and even nerve-wrecking for some, I believe once a person finds the right therapist, they find a trusting confidant who seeks to understand and problem solve.

You may look like you have it all together while privately struggling with anxiety, shame, emotional overwhelm, burnout, or relationship patterns that leave you exhausted and disconnected from yourself. Many have spent years walking on eggshells, overthinking, people-pleasing, or questioning their reality after emotionally immature caregivers or toxic relationships. Others feel trapped in cycles of rumination, compulsions, panic, perfectionism, or intrusive thoughts despite constantly trying to hold it all together. Therapy can help you stop living in constant self-protection and start feeling more like yourself again.

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.
