I offer expertise working with those who struggle with depression, anxiety, LGBTQ+ and transgender issues, PTSD, and ADHD.
Sometimes overwhelming challenges or changes can feel as though they’ve taken over our lives. All too often, rather than seeking the compassionate care we deserve, we try to bear the weight of our circumstances alone, which can lead to compounding feelings of self-doubt, fear, and isolation. I draw from a broad range of therapies to help heal the parts of you that are in pain. My integrative approach draws from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Mindfulness, Attachment Theory, Polyvagal Theory and Motivational Interviewing. With these proven methodologies in my toolkit, I collaborate with you to make meaningful change.

Are you a parent of a high-achieving adolescent or college student who seems to be withdrawing from school and from their friends? COVID created treacherous hurdles that high school and college students had to navigate including lack of socializing with peers and not having adequate support from teachers and inadequate learning opportunities for them to develop into confident students. Competition is now relentless due to 24 hour access to social media and kids just don't have enough down time to unplug. Are you a veteran of any of the conflicts in Afghanistan or Iraq?

I empathize with how you’re feeling right now as you seek through these profiles; it can all feel quite overwhelming and confusing. What are you looking for? What do you hope to gain from this experience? I work with clients on understanding the cost and worth of the various decisions we make through this complex life. In the 10+ years I have worked with clients I have come to recognize that many of us struggle with “how to be a human!?” Let alone navigating the complexities of navigating daily life, work, relationships, and self-exploration.

I am fully certified in two evidence based therapies1) EMDR or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing and 2) IFS or Internal Family Systems Therapy. In a very SAFE manner, they can be VERY effective. I emphasize the word SAFE because NOTHING is ever discussed unless YOU are comfortable discussing it. You're "the boss" as to what we cover/discuss in therapy.

It’s common to feel overwhelmed and lost during life transitions, whether those transitions involve beginning or ending a relationship, becoming a parent, starting a new job, losing someone you love, or even adapting to growing older. Sometimes you can get through difficulties by relying on loved ones in your life, and sometimes it can be invaluable to have a compassionate professional to help you navigate those challenges. My goal is to partner with clients to figure out the path they want to take, and then figure out what skills we can work on to help them get there.

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.
