I am also a specialist in working with Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Questioning/Queer, and other clients.
LGBTQ+ people experience many different situations and circumstances that are unique to the LGBT community. Your gender and orientation doesn't define you, but it does play a large role in your life and impacts many different other issues that you may face. You deserve a counselor who not only understands this, but also knows how to incorporate a person's whole self into counseling and addresses the specific challenges unique to the LGBTQ+ Community.

Under supervision: Ann Revard, LCSW-S. I assess how motivated they are for treatment. This gives a better understanding of the individual, their needs and goals, and their palpable eagerness to do "the work." Clients that I work with are generally committed to the process. They are openminded, willing, honest, introspective, and determined. These characteristics start to show up, or become stronger each week, as the client begins to trust me, and ultimately themselves, with their healing journey. Each client is unique and every journey is different. I will always follow the lead of my client and let them set the pace of progress.

This can be a challenging time and space to be living in. There is so much more you can control in your life experience than what society leads you to believe. I'd be honored to offer you a place of support, a genuinely connected relationship, and my expertise (in nerdy stuff like neuroscience and the cognitive process) to help defeat whatever is standing between you & the life you deserve. My goal is to bring hope and solution to negative things my clients are experiencing through their own personal empowerment.

We all have what we need already inside ourselves, but sometimes we struggle to know and utilize those strengths in difficult situations. Ego state therapy and “parts work” can help you tap into a set of tools many of us don’t even know we have. As we work together, I will help you get to know yourself in a more meaningful way, understand and heal your traumas, break out of dysfunctional patterns, and strengthen your connection to the powerful helpers and skills you have within your own brain. My life has been changed by this creative and empowering therapy and I hope to do the same with the clients and couples in my care.

Having a rather multifaceted identity, I prioritize acceptance in therapy, drawn from my own experiences of not always feeling seen and understood. Before private practice, I worked in an inpatient setting, primarily with adolescent clients with diagnoses of substance use disorders, mood disorders, and personality disorders. My areas of focus lie in substance use disorders, ADHD, autism, agoraphobia, homelessness, LGBTQIA+ issues, grief and anxiety.

Transgender Therapists

As a gender-diverse individual, why might I want to see a therapist who is also gender diverse?

A trans or gender-diverse client may want to see a therapist who is also trans or gender diverse because the client may feel safer sharing their experiences and more confident that the therapist will understand, validate, and support them. But trans or gender-diverse clients can also benefit from therapy with cisgender therapists; this is a personal decision based on the connection between the client and the therapist, and if that connection is strong, therapy will be successful.

What if I cannot find a therapist who shares my gender identity?

Therapy can still be effective if a therapist does not share a client’s gender identity; a large body of research indicates that the most important factor in successful therapy is the therapeutic alliance. A therapist can also be interviewed for sensitivity and competence on gender identity and expression to ensure they possess appropriate knowledge and skills. Many therapists have excellent training and extensive experience working with gender-diverse clients, and that expertise can be invaluable despite a therapist not sharing the same firsthand experiences.

How can I recognize a good therapist for working with gender-diverse clients?

An experienced therapist should be able to help clients explore their gender identity and expression, alleviate discomfort related to their gender identity, treat mental health challenges and trauma, address existing relationships and communication with family members and loved ones, and determine the next steps pertaining to nonmedical or medical gender-affirming interventions. To recognize a good therapist, clients can ask about these topics and explore their comfort and connection with the clinician.

How might I inquire about a therapist’s experience working with transgender clients?

Clients should feel comfortable asking therapists directly about their experience working with transgender or gender-diverse clientele. For example, clients may ask about the therapist’s training and education with regard to gender identity, how many trans clients they’ve worked with in the past, and what sorts of matters were discussed. You may wish to inquire how a therapist specifically supports the needs of transgender clients or clients questioning their gender identity. A good clinician who is nonetheless not the right fit for you is often happy to make referrals to others based on the concerns you articulate in a preliminary conversation.
