My experience as a social worker and as a queer transgender person has helped me grow into an intuitive understanding of our complex humanness.
I love working with folks experiencing life journeys and transitions including questioning gender and sexuality, understanding substance use struggles, healing from traumatic experiences, moving through grief (death, empty nesting, divorce) and even coping with exciting but stressful changes like starting college, moving, and career changes.

I am a gay, transgender clinician dedicated to providing individual therapy to Georgia’s gender, sexuality, and relationship structure minority communities.
If you are LGBTQ+, polyamorous, kinky, or exploring your identity, it can be exhausting to navigate a world that isn't made for you. If you are drowning under the pressure of today’s demands, how can you find the energy to work on your goals, learn who you are, or take time to enjoy life? You may feel alone, and in need of support on your journey of gender or sexuality exploration. You might find yourself numb and in emotional pain, wishing people could see and understand your real self. You’re ready to get help, and you want a therapist that specializes in clients like you.

I have over 15 years of counseling experience and am an LGBTQIA+ certified therapist. My areas of specialty include anxiety, trauma processing, life transitions, social skills, situational mutism, and working with LGBTQIA+ individuals. Sometimes people are hesitant to seek counseling because they don't want to have to relive painful events. EMDR therapy enables individuals to reprocess traumatic events without explaining and reliving all the details.

I work a lot with issues such as depression, anxiety, grief and LGBTQIA issues.
You don't know why, but you just don't feel like yourself anymore. You feel depressed, you can't focus, you are anxious or wanting to isolate yourself. You don't know when it started but something is not right and your life is not like it used to be. What would your life be like if you had a greater understanding and better tools for coping with and managing your emotions? What would your relationships be like if you had a deeper awareness of yourself and improved strategies for communicating with your loved ones?

I am deeply committed to creating a space where you feel seen, heard and understood. With over 13 years of experience in social work, I bring a wealth of knowledge and passion to my practice while serving individuals in several marginalized communities including but not limited to LGBTQIA+, LatinX & BIPOC, trauma, neuro-divergent, addiction, and the elderly. We each have our own stories, and it is okay to seek guidance when attempting to navigate and understand that self-directed narrative. I too received guidance when I needed it the most, and it granted me a deeper insight into myself. I hope to do the same for you.

My ideal clients are millennial individuals who find themselves struggling to get what they need out of relationships with others. Whether that relationship is with a parent, peer or significant other, their goals are to set new boundaries, develop healthier habits and learn effective communication and conflict resolution skills in order to verbalize and ultimately have their needs met within the relationship. My ideal clients are also individuals/couples struggling with issues surrounding sexuality. I am pleased to work with cisgender and LGBTQ+ identifying, and those identifying with or looking to explore alt relationship styles.

I won't judge, talk to you in phony psychobabble, or give up. I am about authenticity, insight, and empowerment. There are utilities inside of us that lead us toward growth. Sometimes we lose sight of our own capacities. I am good at helping people use those utilities to take charge of their lives. Life should not be about coping; it should be about possibilities!

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.
