For some people, therapy is a scary word. There’s been a lot of stigma around it for a long time. But for others it is relief. It takes courage to begin therapy, whether it’s your first time or you’re returning after several years. Life transitions and events can sometimes lead to overwhelming feelings of stress and you need someone to help you navigate through these difficult times. I want my clients to find relief from what they are experiencing and give them an outlet to express themselves. Therapy is self-care, and I want clients to view it as such instead of something they “have to do”.

My specialties include: trauma/C-PTSD, relationship issues, anxiety, ecological despair, LGBTQIA+, gender identity, and more.
While it is important to bring attention to the mind, I especially enjoy somatic (body-based) therapeutic practices because one, there is an innate wisdom our body has to offer and two, the body has a story to tell… are you ready to listen? Other therapeutic approaches I use are IFS, Compassion-Focused Therapy, Yoga Therapy, and more.

As I have advanced in my own self-discovery and identity exploration, I have become interested in helping others in the LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent (specifically Autism & ADHD), and disability communities on their own journeys.
Of course, we can’t do this without also talking about the way our society impacts mental health, in particular, the detrimental effects of racism, homophobia, ablism, and other forms of prejudice. When shame is present, we will explore what social or familial messages may be behind this and help you reconnect with your inherent worth and value.

I work with trauma, disordered eating, anxiety, and mood concerns in a space that’s LGBTQIA+ affirming, collaborative, and built for deep healing.
Now offering limited Saturday morning sessions. It takes real courage to begin therapy—to show up, be open, and trust someone with your story. I have deep respect for the people who choose this work and am committed to creating a space that feels safe, affirming, and real. The personal is political, and I’m attentive to the ways systems—like oppression, identity, power, and privilege—shape how we see ourselves and move through the world. With warmth and curiosity, I help clients untangle what’s been painful and move toward compassion, clarity, and meaningful change.

I’m also inspired by queer and trans ancestral wisdom and the ways we have always found to get by, care for each other, and thrive.
I believe that radical change is always possible - and maybe even unavoidable. When you’re suffering, it can feel like things will stay the same forever. However, I believe therapy can be a place to rewrite old stories and come into self-understanding that is more hopeful, expansive, and true. Our relationship is at the core of the work for me, and I am committed to building our space together with warmth and patience.

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.
