Who I Work With

I work with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, toxic perfectionism, issues of over control, major life transitions, or recovery from trauma or substance abuse. Although my clients come from diverse backgrounds, there are some groups I have specialized experience with: the LGBTQIA+ community and individuals recovering from traumatic religious experiences.

LGBTQIA+ Affirming therapy

I have a particular passion for working with the LGBTQIA+ community. I know firsthand the many challenges that LGBTQIA+ individuals face in finding competent care. Will this provider discriminate against me? Will they give me proper care, or will they dismiss my concerns? Will they understand my needs and experiences? Will they be well-meaning, but uninformed about what my day to day looks like? Will they know how to help me navigate the ever-changing political landscape? Will they accept me fully as a I am?

Although our country has grown tremendously over the last several years, we still have a very long way to go in terms of having enough competent providers to meet the needs of our lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer, or pansexual and transgender, non-binary, genderqueer, agender, or questioning populations. I am proud to be a member of the community, as well as a provider of counseling services to those who need it.
