As a mental health therapist, I work with children, adults, and couples, offering a supportive and nonjudgmental space where clients can feel heard and understood. I believe that our past experiences shape who we are today, and by exploring and addressing unresolved trauma, we can begin to shift current behaviors, emotional patterns, and ways of thinking.

Hello? Are you doing life, "adulting," making the decisions, yet something doesn't feel quite right? Are you feeling the adulting is ghetto? You may feel like you are wearing a mask, pretending all is well. You tried "self-care," the books, yoga, and talking to your friends, yet you are feeling like a burden, or worse...damaged. If there is no one else to turn to, where do you go? You want to have somebody who will understand how your past traumas impact your present life. Along with a trained trauma specialist and a sex therapist, we can process these silent hurts together and find your renewed, confident self, full of self-esteem.

My goal is to develop and grow an authentic connection with you so that you feel empowered to put into words what your unique experience is like. We both know that, without trust, you will not feel comfortable sharing about yourself, your life, what you are proud of, and what you are challenged by. Your goals and interests in how to use our therapeutic relationship will determine where we go in sessions, and I am comfortable using elements from several modalities, from existential or spiritually reflective to solution-focused and practical, with quite a bit in between, always through a lens of attachment and neurobiology.

My ideal client is someone seeking real change—whether that means total abstinence or finding safer, healthier ways to manage use. They may feel stuck in old patterns, tired of the cycle, or unsure where to start. Some are balancing recovery with work, family, or military life and want practical tools to regain stability and purpose. They value honesty, progress, and self-awareness, and they’re ready to build a life that feels sustainable—not just sober.

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.
