As one who is part of the queer community, I have a passion for working with queer adults and non-monogamous relationships.
With a trauma-informed lens alongside empathic person-centered care, I offer a space where you can show up fully and be met with compassion, not judgment. You are not alone—and you don’t have to navigate your struggles and burdens alone either. Therapy is here for you when you’re ready.

Therapy is a space where you don’t have to have it all figured out. You don’t need ‘fixing’—my role is to help you build skills to navigate difficult emotions and patterns with greater confidence and clarity. No matter where you’re starting from, we will work together to create meaningful, lasting change.
I tailor therapy to each individual, drawing from evidence-based approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Tics (CBIT), with a strong foundation in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

Therapy is for you! So, I want to truly hear you, make you feel valued, and empathetically empower you to embrace and express your most authentic self as we collaboratively nurture a full and meaningful life—whatever this means for you. I not only believe you possess the capacity for positive transformation, but I also believe you are worthy of genuine loving-kindness, inner tranquility, and the opportunity to grow and go whichever direction fills your soul’s cup. As such, I cultivate a safe and validating space in which you can heal, change, unwind, vent, self-care, or whatever else you may need.

As an LGBTQ+ specialist, I work heavily with gender dysphoria and am one of few people that can treat it with EMDR.
I enjoy working with folks who've tried therapy before, and didn't get what they needed. I love trying out more creative approaches to therapy, and I make sure we're collaborating to find that path you've been searching for. Some of my most rewarding clients are those struggling with self-worth, depression, anxiety, and trauma. Since most folks have struggled with a least a few of these issues, I find myself well equipped to work with just about anyone. Whether you're already motivated and aware of what changes you want to make, or just getting started on your mental health journey, I'll be happy to lend a hand how I can.

Congrats on taking a brave step by exploring helpers! Maybe you just can’t seem to find solid footing. The micro-moment you find yourself in a flow, it vanishes, stolen, and you worry you’ve worked so hard only to find yourself back at square one. You’re exhausted from endless uncertainty, and worse yet, you’re feeling terrified of your inner-critic taking hold of another chance to beat you down. Yes, you want to shut that part of your brain up, but more than that, you want another voice to come into power because this ain’t working. You may feel out of your depth like there is too much for you to make sense of on your own.

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.
