LGBTQ-Specific:  LGBTQ folks struggle with trauma symptoms, substance abuse, and difficult emotions at a higher rate than their heterosexual/cis-gender counterparts.  This is not because LGBTQs have inferior makeups, but because LGBTQs are often treated differently/poorly, or because their needs aren’t properly considered, or because they simply feel “different” or “other”.  

I am a gay human, and my empathy with these issues is real.  As a therapist, I can offer assistance toward the stressors stemming from these issues:

  • Discrimination at school or work

  • Depression/anxiety

  • Self-harming behaviors

  • Suicidal thoughts

  • Familial and social rejection

  • Identity and discovery

  • Romantic relationship roles

  • Healthy boundaries

  • Gender transition

I offer a blend of EMDR and talk therapy. We’ll make a plan that’s right for you.
