Everyone has a time in their life where they come upon roadblocks that hinder your ability to reach your greatest potential; by removing these blocks you can surpass any difficulties. My approach to therapy is to meet clients where they are and come alongside them in their journey to healing. I believe that the heart of therapy is the therapeutic relationship which consists of creating a safe judgment-free environment accepting of individuality and the culture/heritage of each client.

Being a member of the LGBTQ+ community is a hard-won point of pride.
Too often we feel like we can't say everything we want to say, or that we said something wrong and there's no fixing it. In therapy, we can figure out what we want, what we want to say, and who we want to be. We can let it all out, make mistakes, and try again until it feels right. The freedom to speak honestly about all the parts of our experience is a key component to recovery. I am here to listen to you without judgment and to support you in understanding yourself, your relationships, your work, and your meaning. When you can coexist peacefully with all the parts of yourself, you may find your options opening up.

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.
