Waitlist for new clients
My goal as a therapist is to support clients in connecting to themselves, building resilience, and enhancing their overall well-being using a strengths-based approach. My clients are looking for care regarding sexual health, LGBTQ+ health, women's health, relationship and intimacy concerns, and attachment concerns. I best serve transitional-aged youth and adults. I'm also involved in cat rescue and can't wait to see your furry friends in the background.

My passion is working with clients who identify with some (or all) of the following Intersections: LGBTQIA+, Ethically Non-monogamous, Chronically Ill, and Neurodivergent (especially late diagnosis ND). Most of my clinical experience has been with clients whose identities exist at these intersections, in addition to Complex Trauma. I want to help you build the life you have only imagined by aiding you in identifying and healing from your core wounds. This is done by collaborating in order to understand your unique System (both internal and external) - from that insight we work to build Self-Worth, Self-Esteem, and Self-Compassion.

I aim to work collaboratively with the client to help access the strengths and resources they inherently possess. My areas of clinical interest include anxiety, depression, substance use, life transitions, grief, stress, trauma and identity concerns. I have a particular interest in supporting those who are LGBTQIA+ identified and other marginalized and oppressed populations.

My experience and training with the cis and LGBTQ+ community has made me uniquely qualified to assist you in making life better, by finding resolutions and resources to better equip you to manage any of your difficulties or concerns.
If you are struggling with mental health, situational or adjustment concerns and have not been able to manage without assistance from a professional like me, it is time to reach out. Why are you making life harder? My theory is that we most often already have the solutions to our problems within us, but may need an objective person (like a therapist) to identify how our own strengths can be used as a vehicle to resolution.

" As a pan/lesbian person, I come from a place of non-judgement, open mindedness, and kindness.
What dreams do you want to manifest? What does your inner child want you to know? What parts of yourself want to be awakened? The prolonged impacts of trauma can feel like looking into a distorted mirror and wondering, "Who am I?" Wherever you are in life, I meet you with guidance to empower you to reject a false self so that your true self is accepted. Accepting yourself may mean accepting your feelings, identity, perspective, values, and authentic inner nature! I believe you have the power within to manifest changes in your unique reality. I primarily work with LGBTQ+ people, trauma survivors, children, youth, and young adults.

Are you wrestling with how your life is impacted by your own disability, sexual orientation, or gender identity? Are you a parent struggling how to navigate the world when you have a child who has a disability or is figuring out their own identity when it comes to potentially being a part of the LGBTQ+ community? These are questions and worries that are difficult to navigate on your own. It is helpful to have an unbiased person to turn to so you can process and understand how your intersectional identities can impact your life and the lives of your loved 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.
