SERVICES
INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
I provide individual therapy to LGBTQIA+ adults ages 18+. I will respect your right to self determination and meet you halfway.
COUPLES THERAPY
I provide couples, marital and pre-marital counseling for LGBTQIA+ couples only. I welcome couples of all genders, identities and relationship types. Therapy is unique to each couple.
FAMILY THERAPY
I provide family therapy using an integrative approach focusing on family systems, relational, CBT, positive parenting and mindfulness practices. Family therapy is unique to each family. I strongly encourage parents who have a child in therapy to be involved through family counseling. Parents and families who are supportive, affirming and accepting of their LGBTQ+ kids proves to aid in their recovery process. If you find yourself struggling with this, that is absolutely normal. Some parents may go through a grieving process when their child comes out as LGBTQ+. As a parent of a trans teen, I understand first hand. Let’s work together to find acceptance, compassion and become the ally your child needs.
ADOLESCENT THERAPY
I practice therapy with adolescents 13 to 18. Adolescence is a particularly difficult time but also a magnificent part of a young person’s life. LGBTQ+ youth are at higher rate of experiencing emotional and mental health issues, including self-harm, suicidal thoughts and substance use than their heterosexual/cisgender peers. My counseling approach with teens is open, inclusive, affirming and strengths based. I strongly encourage parents to be involved through family counseling. Parents and families who are supportive, affirming and accepting of their LGBTQ+ kids proves to aid in their recovery process.
GENDER AFFIRMING CARE, TRANSITION THERAPY, CONFIRMATION LETTERS
When clinically appropriate, I will write letters for medical transition. I do not require a minimum number of sessions for confirmation treatment letters and practice informed consent (self determination). I require all clients to complete a biopsychosocial assessment and initial treatment plan which may take between 1-3 sessions. Recommendations for counseling or alternative treatment may be recommended at the conclusion of our assessment. Clients always have the option to continue therapy however it is not a requirement for letters. I do reserve the right to decline or delay letters based on my clinical judgment.
