Being seen and supported for who you are is vital to feeling comfortable with your therapist. I strive to provide an affirming space for all individuals, especially gay, lesbian, bi, transgender, and non-binary individuals and couples. Heteronormative societal pressures often force sexual minorities to think of themselves in a non-affirming language, creating internal conflict and self-doubt. Crafting therapy with a language that reflects your lifestyle and beliefs is a hallmark of my therapeutic approach, and we craft that language together in a safe and collaborative space.
• Break up Recovery • Complex Trauma • Depression and Anxiety • Gay Men's Issues: Body Dysmorphia, HIV, STI stigma, Substance Use Disorder • Grief and Loss • Polyamory: Attachment, Trauma and Consensual Nonmonogamy • Self-Esteem & Addiction Factors • Sex-Positive Support • Toxic Relationships: How to end an unhealthy LGBTQ relationship
When the pandemic brought unexpected change to my career, I realized my happiest moments were those devoted to supporting the LGBTQ community. Having provided mentorship and supported new generations as a volunteer for decades, I was inspired to do this rewarding work full-time. Therapy is a long conversation, one I would be honored to start with you.

"
I primarily use the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model as it offers the tools to unearth & discuss the events that have shaped a client's perception of Self. Feminist Theory provides societal context to the oppressive forces that shape a client. I also use Narrative therapy to provide the client a mechanism to rewrite their story, literally. I blend these three models to craft change.
