You deserve to thrive after life has tried to break you. I specialize in trauma treatment especially with those transitioning into adulthood. Trauma can happen in a lot of ways and within a lot of contexts. I am passionate about helping people move through that dark space toward healing and vibrancy in their lives today. I believe that humans are geared toward healing and wellbeing and that with the right tools you can feel whole no matter what has happened to you. You are not the things that have happened to you.

I work with adults and couples, including men, LGBTQIA+ clients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals, who want to understand these patterns and feel more connected, grounded, and fully themselves.
Grounded in attachment, family systems, trauma, and somatic awareness, our work won't be about pushing through or surface-level strategies. We thoughtfully explore your internal organization—how emotion, physiology, neuroscience, and relationship patterns interact—so that more integration, intimacy, and a renewed sense of aliveness can emerge.

I’ve been told many times that I’m not like other therapists, I’m a DBT therapist! If you’re going to cry, I’d rather you do it here. As the founder of Emergence Health & Wellness, my professional work currently focuses on the removal of barriers to treatment for ALL, regardless of identity, including college students, first responders, the formerly incarcerated, trade workers, and individuals in recovery. My typical sessions include validation of your experiences and emotions, working to achieve acceptance and change in your daily life and finally a dash of sarcasm and irreverence to lighten the mood and help the medicine go down.

I believe therapy should feel both supportive and honest. My style is confident, direct, and grounded in humor, accountability, and real connection. I work collaboratively with clients to help them better understand themselves, challenge unhelpful patterns, and make meaningful progress toward their goals. I primarily work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, and life stressors. I have a particular passion for supporting adult men who may be seeking therapy for the first time, as well as first responders and nurses/caregivers—who are carrying the emotional impact of demanding roles.

College and early adulthood can look exciting from the outside — but internally feel overwhelming, uncertain or lonely. I specialize in working with young adults who are navigating anxiety, relationship stress, identity exploration, body image concerns, and major life transitions. You might be the “high-functioning” one- doing well academically or professionally - while privately struggling with overthinking, self-doubt or feeling behind. Or maybe you’re adjusting to a new phase of life and questioning who you are, what you want, or where you’re headed. Therapy can be a space to slow down and build confidence in your next steps.

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.
