I completed a Gender-Affirming Care Certificate Program and am in ongoing consultation on providing quality care to transgender, gender expansive folks, and LGBTQ folks.
Limited spots available for new clients-In our fast-paced culture, we are conditioned to believe that our issues are unique to ourselves and that we alone are responsible for our well-being. This is not only untrue, it is harmful. From the pandemic and the climate crisis to our individual experiences of adversity, we can often find ourselves struggling with isolation, anxiety, and depression. These challenges can so often negatively impact our relationships and sense of self worth, and my goal is to assist you in becoming your most authentic, liberated, and empowered self.

You search for answers—and that’s where I come in. An Immigration Psychological Evaluation can provide critical support for your case.

Many people living with childhood trauma or C-PTSD feel like they’re “too sensitive” or “too much.” The truth is, your nervous system learned to survive, and it can learn something new. You’re someone who seems capable and dependable, yet still find yourself people-pleasing, overthinking, and feeling emotionally exhausted from managing others’ expectations. You may feel disconnected from yourself or stuck in familiar patterns, even when you want things to change. You’re ready to build healthier boundaries, trust yourself, and feel more secure and authentic in your relationships. I want to help you get there.

Something isn’t right. Maybe it’s anxiety that won’t let up, relationship struggles that leave you feeling disconnected, or the weight of past experiences that still affect you today. Whether it happened recently or years ago, it lingers—showing up in ways you wish it wouldn’t. Certain situations, people, or memories bring up emotions that are hard to shake. You might feel on edge, like you can never fully relax. Maybe you wonder if things will always be this way.
A part of you hopes for relief. Hopes that therapy could help you feel more at ease, more connected, more like yourself. You can trust that part of you.

I find that I connect especially well with members of the LGBTQ community, but of course I am happy to meet and speak with anyone needing support.
I believe good therapy comes from a mutually authentic connection between clinician and client, which allows for trust; there isn’t good treatment without trust. I try to understand both the client's short term needs and their larger goals in an effort to make that trusting connection.

I take a collaborative approach to therapy that is both supportive and structured, while offering flexibility to accommodate the realities of life's stressors.

My approach to therapy is based on Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT). A core idea in ACT is that trying too hard to get rid of or control our emotions tends to backfire. Instead of trying to get rid of unwanted thoughts and feelings (e.g., anxiety & depression), I will help you learn to react differently to them so that you can keep your focus on living a meaningful and fulfilling life based on what’s important to you. We will work together to set meaningful goals to address your concerns–whether they relate to life transitions, depression, anxiety, body image, grief/loss, job or academic stress, or gender & sexuality.

I specialize in trauma, PTSD, and affirming care for LGBTQ+ individuals of all ages.
We search for spaces where our identity is celebrated and our existence is affirmed. For many people those spaces are rare. Too often the world outside doesn't offer safety, representation, or belonging. Over time that absence becomes internalized: self-doubt, shame, a quiet disconnection from who you really are.
Trauma makes it heavier. It becomes an anchor, chaining you to pain you didn't ask for and didn't deserve.

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.
