I am particularly skilled in addressing anxiety, depression, insomnia/sleep disturbance, parenting stress, anger management, and lesbian/gay/bisexual concerns.
Perhaps you are feeling stressed out from relationships, work, or other parts of your life. Or maybe you suffer from ongoing difficulties such as anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem. As your therapist, I will help you better understand and cope with life's difficulties, as well as move towards the changes you want. Above all, I will provide you with a non-judgmental and supportive atmosphere to allow for meaningful learning and change. COVID-19 UPDATE: I am able to meet with you either in-person or remotely by video conference. I am taking new clients and have several days/time available.

I am a Queer-identified therapist with over 20 years of experience working with diverse Transgender, Queer, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Gay identified individuals. My style is warm, active, and authentic. Starting therapy is hard, so my priority in early sessions is for you to feel relaxed, understood, and comfortable. Your laughter and questions are welcomed. With a background in LGBTQ+ public health, I am sensitive to the challenges and stressors that come with living outside cisgender/hetero norms. I also value subjugated knowledge - the wisdom we possess from not fitting into the dominant culture.

lesbian, bisexual and transgender individuals.
Change is inevitable but the passageway to it is difficult to navigate alone. Psychotherapy is a collaborative effort between client and therapist to aid in that journey. This is achieved through a careful look at the ingredients in life that have resulted in a unique recipe for self-structure and patterning in each person. To change the recipe is to recalculate it's components, gradually sifting out past patterns that have led to disappointment or loss and replace them with others that lead to personal fulfillment. These patterns manifest themselves in work, personal and parenting concerns.

As a psychotherapist and psychoanalyst, I am interested in how relationships heal and transform individuals. I work closely with my patients to illuminate areas in which they feel disconnected from others, and then together, we come up with ways to bridge those gaps. I have specialties in work with survivors of incest and sexual abuse, couples counseling and parenting issues, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer adolescents and adults, as well as experience working with dissociation due to trauma.

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.

My individual work covers such topics as anxiety, depression, trauma, bereavement,gay and lesbian issues, life transitions, career challenges and relationship struggles.
I have been very privileged to work with wonderful clients over my twenty years of clinical practice. I have the utmost respect for my clients as they take the first step in reaching out for help. Dissatisfaction, unfulfillment and unhappiness in one's life is a great burden for anyone to carry. In my sessions, I work collaboratively and diligently with my clients to understand where they are in their lives and what is it they want to achieve. Through a dynamic and thoughtfully guided process we work together to move beyond the status quo and reach new and more satisfying ways of experiencing oneself.

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 have extensive experience working with lesbian, queer-identified, transgender and gender expansive folks, individuals living with HIV/AIDS, and those exploring their relationship to sexuality, kink, and gender.
With each of my clients, I cultivate a compassionate, non-judgmental, and supportive environment. I believe that the therapeutic relationship provides a safe space for identity exploration, so that you can more fully embody your truth in your day-to-day life. While a sense of progress is integral to the therapeutic journey, we will create a personalized understanding of what growth looks like for you, rather than settling for more prescriptive goals. As a relational therapist, I help people foster deeper understanding and self-awareness, overcome unhelpful and defeating patterns, and build self-esteem.

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.

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 therapy is a way toward a fuller, more satisfying life. Together we will journey past the obstacles to greater self-esteem, more satisfying relationships, work and play. I engage actively with you but am guided by your individual needs and wishes. I can help you to expand the strengths you already have and add new skills, experiences and ways of seeing yourself.

I have over 30 years of experience working with adults, children and families, and an ongoing passion and engagement in the art of psychotherapy. When the fit is right, a good therapeutic relationship can provide a powerful vehicle for healing and transformation. I think for therapy to really gel, you need to feel that your therapist gets you, perhaps in a way few others have. Adults I work with often tell me they have that experience with me, that they feel fully seen and understood. My work with children began in my earliest days as a therapist - and it continues to be a central part of my practice.
