Affirmation is crucial when we are working toward the life that we want to live. This is especially important in a culture that is still too often rejecting of LGBTQIA+ people. My training includes supervision focused on working in an affirming way with LGBTQIA+ people and I am committed to an ongoing process of understanding the unique needs of those whose sexuality and/or gender identity does not conform to “mainstream” society. I am a member of the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom (NCSF) and adhere to the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) Standards of Care and the American Counseling Association (ACA) Competencies for Counseling LGBTQ+ Individuals. I provide individual and couple counseling to adults age 18 and over. I work with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, gender dysphoria, life transitions, relationship concerns, sexual intimacy concerns, career concerns, academic concerns, behavioral concerns, low self-esteem, sleep problems, substance use, self-harm, personality disorders.
