My areas of interest include personality & identity development, LGBTQIA concerns (including gender dysphoria, gender exploration & gender transition), depression & other mood disorders, anxiety, grief & loss, men's mental health, post-trauma intervention, and treatment for problem sexual behavior.
I know how it feels to contemplate beginning therapy, and I always found it both scary and intimidating. Relax. You've already taken a huge step towards self-care and wellness, and I would be honored to help you to continue on that path. As a person-centered therapist, my goal is to help you to find greater self-acceptance, build more fulfilling relationships, and create the life you deserve. Life isn't easy for most of us, and for many of us, it's been even more painful and challenging. While we can't change our pasts, we have the power to address how it affects us in the present, and we can create a beautiful future.

Is anxiety your constant companion? Are you experiencing gender dysphoria, struggling with your sexual orientation, and/or have a sense that everyone else gets it but you don’t? I can help you discover the answers to these questions and more. My specialties are: Anxiety Disorders, LGBQ and Transgender issues associated with transitioning and Asperger’s Syndrome. For 30+ years I have helped people from all walks of life discover and manifest their most authentic selves and achieve their intentions. I see clients in office and by Telemed. If you choose video counseling, I find it to be equally effective as face-to-face sessions.

As a gender-diverse individual, why might I want to see a therapist who is also gender diverse?
A trans or gender-diverse client may want to see a therapist who is also trans or gender diverse because the client may feel safer sharing their experiences and more confident that the therapist will understand, validate, and support them. But trans or gender-diverse clients can also benefit from therapy with cisgender therapists; this is a personal decision based on the connection between the client and the therapist, and if that connection is strong, therapy will be successful.
What if I cannot find a therapist who shares my gender identity?
Therapy can still be effective if a therapist does not share a client’s gender identity; a large body of research indicates that the most important factor in successful therapy is the therapeutic alliance. A therapist can also be interviewed for sensitivity and competence on gender identity and expression to ensure they possess appropriate knowledge and skills. Many therapists have excellent training and extensive experience working with gender-diverse clients, and that expertise can be invaluable despite a therapist not sharing the same firsthand experiences.
How can I recognize a good therapist for working with gender-diverse clients?
An experienced therapist should be able to help clients explore their gender identity and expression, alleviate discomfort related to their gender identity, treat mental health challenges and trauma, address existing relationships and communication with family members and loved ones, and determine the next steps pertaining to nonmedical or medical gender-affirming interventions. To recognize a good therapist, clients can ask about these topics and explore their comfort and connection with the clinician.
How might I inquire about a therapist’s experience working with transgender clients?
Clients should feel comfortable asking therapists directly about their experience working with transgender or gender-diverse clientele. For example, clients may ask about the therapist’s training and education with regard to gender identity, how many trans clients they’ve worked with in the past, and what sorts of matters were discussed. You may wish to inquire how a therapist specifically supports the needs of transgender clients or clients questioning their gender identity. A good clinician who is nonetheless not the right fit for you is often happy to make referrals to others based on the concerns you articulate in a preliminary conversation.
