I warmly welcome and affirm LGBTQIA+ individuals, couples, and chosen families. Whether you are gay, lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, transgender, non-binary, queer, asexual, intersex, or exploring any part of your identity and relationships, my practice is a non-judgmental space where you can bring your whole self without fear of being misunderstood or minimized.

Relationships in the LGBTQIA+ community are resilient and beautiful, yet they often carry unique layers of complexity. Minority stress, family or societal rejection, navigating disclosure, microaggressions, or past experiences of discrimination can quietly shape how we connect with partners and how safe we feel being fully seen. These experiences deserve to be held with care and understanding.

Using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method, I support queer couples and individuals in rebuilding emotional safety, trust, and intimacy while fully honoring your identities and relationship structures. Common areas we explore include:

• Rebuilding trust and connection after infidelity or betrayal

• Healing from narcissistic or emotionally harmful dynamics

• Supporting gender transition or identity exploration within a partnership 

• Addressing minority stress and attachment injuries 

• Strengthening communication and emotional closeness in same-gender, non-monogamous, or polyamorous relationships 

• Navigating family-of-origin challenges or chosen family dynamics

Sessions are confidential and available via secure telehealth for clients in New Jersey and Illinois. Whether you are seeking individual support or couples work, you will find a space that celebrates your love and identity while offering rigorous, evidence-based clinical care.

You deserve a therapist who not only accepts you but actively affirms the fullness of who you are and how you love. My goal is to help you create relationships that feel secure, vibrant, and true to your authentic self.
