I work with individuals and couples from many backgrounds, and I’m especially committed to working with LGBTQ+ clients around identity, relationships, and the lived experiences of being part of the queer community.
Many people who come to see me appear successful on the outside, yet privately struggle with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or relationships that no longer feel supportive or satisfying. Others carry a lingering sense of unease or disconnection, as if something important is missing or stuck. These experiences can feel isolating and difficult to talk about, especially when shame or self-doubt is involved. Therapy offers a place to slow down, make sense of what’s happening, and begin to feel more grounded and hopeful.

As an LGBTQ+ provider and expert on gender diversity and queer identity, I am passionate about helping you become fully yourself, while managing the outside world, whether that means gender exploration, creative relationship structures, unmasking and embracing neurodiversity, being more authentic with loved ones, or being more real with yourself.
Are you feeling grief, loss and overwhelm at what's happening in our country? Wondering how to balance the changes you want to make in your own life with surviving uncertain times? Concerned about finding a provider who "gets it?" More than ever, it is impossible to separate what is happening outside and inside the therapy room. I consider myself a liberation psychologist, with a strong belief that changing our inner worlds has everything to do with change in the outside world, and what causes us internal pain must be understood in the context of our environment.

There is a reason why the safety protocols on airplanes instruct us to put the oxygen mask on ourselves first in case of an emergency. We can not care for others if we don’t focus on our own needs, even with the very limited time most of us have daily. Yet many of us get stuck on a hamster wheel and end up giving and giving until we simply have nothing left. This in conjunction with trauma can lead to feelings of anxiety, depression, and hopelessness. My goal is to disrupt that cycle by providing a safe space for my clients to work through their most vulnerable emotions and emerge ready to tackle life’s challenges.

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.
