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 work with people from all walks of life who are ready to look inward, explore patterns, and make meaningful change. Together, we’ll address your goals—whether that’s managing symptoms, improving relationships, or finding a greater sense of purpose and peace.
I believe therapy works best when it’s grounded in trust, curiosity, and collaboration. Because diagnoses are never one-size-fits-all, I approach mental health as a specific set of experiences in a complex world.
I show up as my genuine self to show that therapy can truly be for anyone. I’m ready to work together to make your life feel like a place you want to be.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with more than 15 years of experience in individual, group, and family psychotherapy, as well as clinical psychiatric research. In my private psychotherapy practice, I work from a values-based empowerment model to help individuals who are facing difficult life transitions, adjustment to parenting, challenging relationship issues, difficulties with boundary-setting, and emotional pain/unrest. I am a strong believer in the power of human relationships and the ability to create meaningful change through a holistic, mind/body approach.

My approach is a holistic one, helping clients gain awareness of the connections between emotions, thoughts, and the physical body. My work is influenced by experience in hospitals, schools, group practice, and yoga instruction. I offer short-term counseling, and longer term supportive psychotherapy. Treatment style is determined by client need, but is rooted in positive psychology, mindfulness, and interpersonal psychotherapy.

With over 20 years experience, We have learned that no two minds work quite the same—if they did, our job would be a lot easier (and frankly, a lot more boring). We tailor our approach to each client, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for practical, actionable change, Psychodynamic work to unpack early life influences, and Humanistic or Person-Centered therapy for deeper self-exploration. We also integrate mindfulness and other specialized techniques, because sometimes the best breakthroughs happen when we slow down and breathe—yes, even when life feels like a chaotic group chat. "

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.

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.
