There is no such thing as an ideal client. That is too boring. The way I do therapy is relaxed. I am not your average therapist, and I am not going to be like, "How does that make you feel?" but I am going to say, "What up! How are we doing today?" I never stop learning, and when you have me as a therapist, you will see that you will fall back in love with learning. Overall, I am just honored you allowed me to help you! Also, the best way to reach me is to Email over calling due to normally being in session, and I want to respond to you as quickly as possible!

Hey there, I'm so glad you stopped by. If you are like many of my clients, you might find yourself in a position that feels a little too out of your control or in a phase of life that feels overwhelming. Maybe you have found yourself in a place you never intended on being. It might feel like there is something blocking you from being your best self. The most important truth I want you to know is that you are not alone! Take this next step for yourself and let's get started on connecting the dots. I would love to meet you!

People come to therapy because they want to feel better. It might be relationship problems or anxiety/depression, but whatever the reason, life has become uncomfortable or painful. Most people want more understanding of themselves and their situation. That being said, change is what we all seek in therapy. Making your life work better is the goal. I focus on altering self-defeating ways, gaining perspective, and increasing insight that leads to change. The result is an improved quality of life.

Addiction is a disease and it robs people of everything. We meet the client where ever they are in the grips of addiction. Deep down in every individual there is a need to find their sense of purpose. Everyone wants to attain self-actualization or to become who they believe they were meant to become. We believe in Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, which states individuals must first attain their physical, social, emotional and spiritual needs before reaching self-actualization, which brings a feeling of fulfillment, joy and peace. We provide a way out. Please give us a call to schedule an assessment.

A session with me will be relaxed, while still being directive. My goal is to create a safe space for my clients where you can laugh, cry, & explore any & all thoughts. I will challenge you to look at your thoughts/behaviors, however, in my sessions, the topic of conversation is always up to my client. We will always go at your pace & I will always check in with your comfort levels. When we are discussing more dysregulating topics, using humor as a tool is common in my sessions. I believe being able to bring levity to even the darkest of trauma’s can bring a feeling of mastery & power over it.

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.
