In addition, I am part of the LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities and hope to foster a safe space for all.
After years of working with individuals from all walks of life, my goal with each of my clients is to assist them in fostering their own sense of self. Often, we already know the solutions to the problems we face, but the stress of life can make identifying them a challenge. By using a mindfulness centered approach my hope is to walk with my clients in their journeys towards those answers. The tools I use in my practice are CBT, IFS, EMDR, and mindfulness modalities; along with a healthy dose of psycho-education.

I am dedicated to helping clients heal from trauma, grow in self-awareness, and find and establish their identity and value. I have walked through infidelity in my marriage and I understand the devastation betrayal has on a partner, a relationship, and a family. I am also passionate to support clients as they explore religious trauma and deconstruction. I am acutely aware of the complex process of healing in these areas and believe being supported well assists in healing and recovery. Asking for help is often difficult, however my client-centered approach creates a safe, non-judgmental space for you to process and begin healing.

It’s also common at this stage of life to start thinking about identity in new ways—whether that’s exploring your culture, religion, or understanding a LGBTQ+ identity.
Many young adults (18-25) reach a point where they begin to question the roles, expectations, and beliefs they grew up with. You might be realizing that toxic family dynamics from your childhood still show up in your life today. Maybe setting boundaries with family leads to angry texts, guilt-filled phone calls, or pressure to “just go along” with what your family wants. You might be trying to figure out how to build independence from parents while still managing their expectations or reactions. For some people, this includes setting firmer boundaries or even considering estrangement.

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.
