It's a New Day

​

Welcome

If you are feeling overwhelmed or depressed and unsure how to move forward, you're not alone. The world is changing rapidly in so many ways, and your past experiences can make it that much harder to cope. If you're part of the LGBTQ community, there can be even more challenges. 
 

Therapy can be a safe and supportive place to sort it all out. A place to learn, heal, and build self-compassion. Together, we can explore what’s been holding you back and work toward a life that feels more balanced and authentic. I also work with couples who want to improve their communication skills and build back connection.

​​

When you're ready, take the next step. Contact me at the phone number above or use the form on my contact page. We'll have a brief consultation, with no charge, no obligation.

​

There is hope. There is help.

Feel Better

What's holding you back? Depression? Low self-esteem?  Anxiety?  Family issues? Trauma?

​

Many of these issues start in our past and we end up carrying these burdens with us for years. They affect our quality of life and our relationships, our work and our leisure time.

 

A therapist can help you sort through your experiences and understand how they have shaped you so that you can release their hold on you and move forward to a better life.

Communicate Better

Do you keep having the same arguments with loved ones because your issues never get resolved? Do you have trouble speaking up for yourself? Or do you speak up but no one seems to listen?

​

There are specific skills you can learn through therapy that will improve your communication and help you set better boundaries, leading to healthier relationships, feeling empowered, and getting more of what you want in life.  

Live Better

After making great strides for decades in civil rights and acceptances, the LGBTQ+ community is experiencing a resurgence of threats to their rights and safety. Having a safe space to share your fears can be an important part of your support system.  

​

You need a therapist who is more than "gay-friendly." You need someone affirming and knowledgeable, not only for gay people but for everyone who is sexually- and/or gender-diverse.
