My six books include: "Out of the Twilight: Fathers of Gay Men Speak" (2000); "Sons Talk About Their Gay Fathers: Life Curves" (2003); "Side by Side: On Having a Gay or Lesbian Sibling" (2005); "Interventions with Families of GLBT People: From the Inside Out" (2006); "On the Meaning of Friendship Between Gay Men" (2008) (Routledge Press); and.
In the field of social work for 44 years, I specialize in working individually with LGBTQ+ young people. While acquiring deeper insight into what makes you tick, putting that knowledge to work is key. Setting realistic, attainable goals is an indispensable part of the process. Psychoanalytic and relational theories inform my work, and I view the therapeutic relationship as the cornerstone of treatment.

I specialize in working with adolescent clients (gay, lesbian, straight, questioning and transgender), which includes providing support and guidance to their parents.
Psychotherapy offers us the opportunity to have the support we need to examine those areas of our lives we find painful, confusing, and/or challenging. It is common for all of us from time to time to feel "stuck" in our lives, or faced with problems that we cannot seem to overcome. My goal is to help my clients access their internal and interpersonal resources in ways that are healing and help them gain a greater sense of personal agency in their lives. We may achieve this by exploring the past, looking at the present, or a combination of both.

I am a Mental Health Counselor, who has a Masters Degree in Applied Behavioral Psychology and Advanced Certification in Mental Health Counseling. I offer my clients psychotherapy with an integrative approach, utilizing different theoretical frameworks to individualize a therapeutic plan for every person, group, and couple I work with. I primarily focus on CBT, Person-Centered, DBT, Relational, Psychodynamic, mindfulness, and meditation, but offer other techniques listed below. My own philosophy is based on a holistic approach, so I do not always focus on diagnoses or pathology. However, I do recognize that sometimes it is needed.

I am a certified EMDR therapist specializing in working with queer and trans folks to heal from trauma, PTSD + c-PTSD. Utilizing ERP & I-CBT, I work with adults and kids to get their life back from anxiety & OCD. I have been working directly with clients for over 14 years.

I consider personal relationships to be at the core of a person's happiness. Relationships with family, loved ones, friends, and even co-workers need fostering and attention. Working to improve those relationships can be done through individual or couples and family therapy alike. I like to build on strengths already there, hear from you what has worked and not worked in the past, and build moments of connection during the session that can be carried to the time between sessions and strengthened at home with tools and insight. I am also able to do home studies for domestic, international, and seocnd-parent adoptions.

I believe what is accomplished in psychotherapy is co-created by both the patient and the therapist. I am interactive and relational.
I have training and experience in a wide variety of issues and have worked with people from many different backgrounds.
I believe in tailoring the treatment to the individual rather than trying to fit the person into a particular theory. Working with LGBTQ people is a particular specialty of mine.

JUNE 2022: Currently accepting individuals for psychodynamically informed, attachment-oriented, weekly therapy or couples for weekly EFT-based couples therapy (Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy). EFT-based couples therapy seeks to help couples identify the interactional patterns that keep couples disconnected. In understanding these patterns, we work to help partners learn and understand their habitual protective behaviors, their partner's protective behaviors, and to practice NEW ways of responding to one's self and one's partner.

I also specialize in supporting individuals with complex trauma histories, especially those who have experienced sexual trauma, familial trauma, and exposure to violence.

Others come in the midst of or just after a major life transition that has left them feeling lost, alone, or directionless. And still others come simply wanting a better understanding of self. Whether you find yourself in transition or stagnant, overwhelmed or numb, trapped or out of control, I welcome you to my practice.

All people have the capacity to face challenges and respond to difficult times and feelings. If you suffer with ruminations, depression, anxiety, or even that nagging voice that says that you aren't "good enough," I can help you find happiness and peace. I have an integrative style that combines various forms of behavioral therapies, including CBT and ACT. I love helping patients use mindfulness to help create a more balanced and fulfilling life.

You’ve got everything under control, except for when everything falls apart. It can feel debilitating to work so hard to keep your life on track and then feel overwhelmed by fear or shame or anger at a moment’s notice. You double down on trying to control it but it never seems to be possible and you’re worried that the life you’ve carefully built won’t be able to withstand more bumps. You know your stuff, you /understand/ what you should be doing but you can’t seem to get there and you feel stuck and embarrassed. Repeat repeat.
