I have a special focus on working with
LGBTQIA
+/
queer
and
trans
clients and sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) related concerns.
Choosing to start counseling can be a challenging step. I recognize that each client has a unique experience, so it is important to me that my counseling approach is collaborative and client-led. Clients are involved in treatment decisions and clients voices are heard throughout the entire counseling process. Together we create a safe place for healing, growth, exploration, and discovery. In a nonjudgmental environment, I aim to assist clients in feeling empowered to cope with current challenges, create a more fulfilling present, explore new perspectives, and obtain overall wellness goals.

My specializations lie in working with women's issues, survivors of trauma, those who are transitioning, other
LGBT
+ community members, alternative lifestyles, and non-mainstream religions.
You are not okay. You want to be, but you don’t know how. You want someone to not just listen, but to give you real world solutions to help you move forward into the version of you who is happy, healthy, & whole. You are afraid it isn't possible. You know it will be hard & you are willing to do the work necessary as long as you have someone standing by you on this journey. You need someone to be real with you, not patronize you. You need a nonjudgmental & supportive space. You need to know that you are not alone, & it is okay to hope. I will hold that hope until you are ready to take it back from me. Let me show you the way forward.

We may help you cope with major life changes, stress due to work, grief, chronic illness, and trauma from physical or sexual abuse. We also offer couples therapy as healthy relationships take intentional awareness and initiative, it's easy to slip into a roommate role and neglect the romance we once had.

I specialize in teletherapy with women, college students, healthcare providers and other caregivers, mental health professionals, and
LGBTQ
+ individuals.
If there’s anything we can count on, it’s that we are constantly navigating what it means to adapt to the changes life brings our way. Some of this change is positive. Some of it is so painful. Some we have control over. And some is thrust upon us in the most unfair ways imaginable. Therapy is one of the few places dedicated to helping you adapt to your unique challenges- so you can uncover what you need in order to live with more daily satisfaction and joy. And if you are a busy person wearing many hats, teletherapy can be the easiest way to balance caring for yourself with your other responsibilities.

My strongest belief as a therapist is that there must be a connection between therapist and client, one of trust and respect. Not all therapists are a right fit for you, you have to find the therapist you connect with. I have worked with individuals and their families to gain skills for coping with and managing issues surrounding depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and behavioral struggles along with relational and personal issues. I have worked with adolescents in hospital outpatient settings as well as private practice. I have experience working with children, adult individuals, couples, and families.

Stories weave the fabric of who we are as people. They have transformative power to allow us to see ourselves and others through a different lens. They link us to our past and inspire hope for our futures. Whether it's trying to manage ADHD and learn executive functioning skills or re-building after trauma, the ability to re-author your story allows you to find your voice and separate yourself from your struggles. It allows you to discover new possibilities, to heal old wounds and prevent new ones.

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.
