You are not alone in this journey, and I am here to walk alongside you every step of the way.
As a Christian I consider it a sincere privilege when a person dealing with LGBTQ+ issues comes to see me and endeavor to make my office a safe space where these issues can be explored. I have worked with many adolescents and young adults who are working out various aspects of their sexuality. I have also worked with and led groups for parents of LGBTQ+ individuals as they deal with their own emotions.
I have extensive training in LGBTQ+ affirmative therapy, including understanding the unique challenges and experiences faced by LGBTQ+ individuals. As a trusted therapist, I create a welcoming and affirming space where LGBTQ+ clients can explore their identities, navigate coming out, address discrimination, and work through other issues impacting their mental health and well-being.
I was among the first psychologists to volunteer to counsel with people with AIDS beginning in 1986. In addition, my years of collaboration with people of all sexualities and gender identities have encouraged me to strongly view all sexualities as equally valid. However, I also understand that one's sexual and gender role plays a major role in the therapeutic process. I understand and have conducted research on the unique therapeutic needs of people with sexualities that are often marginalized.
