Psychotherapists - Licensed or Registered

Poly, non-monogamous, and mixed-orientation relationships are just as diverse as monogamous ones. Folks can have any number of intimacy dynamics and creative agreements that may need to be renegotiated from time to time, and that requires knowledge of ourselves and clear communication. While not every client will have a need to discuss their relationships or sexuality, every client deserves a therapist who is accepting and affirming of their relationship choices. I work with diverse genders, sexualities, and relationships. I see clients across the lifespan (kids, teens, and adults), for individual, relationship, and family therapy. In particular, I specialize in working with the minorities within the broader LGBT minority, such as poly, bi, kinky, and genderqueer folks. In addition to my private practice, I facilitate a drop-in group for bisexual and bi-curious men (“men” inclusive of trans* folks) at Fenway Community Health in Boston, addressing topics such as Getting Past Stereotypes, Monogamy and Polyamory, Coming Out, and Queering Sexuality. I am a member of WPATH, the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, and have received the Unsung Hero Award from the Bisexual Resource Center.

I am a queer therapist specializing in working with the LGBTQ2IA+ community. I provide individual psychotherapy in English to adults struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, sexuality and gender issues, relationship difficulties, and more. I use an integrated approach stemming from relational, attachment-based, and psychodynamic theories.

I work with individuals age 18+ that are navigating anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and relationship challenges. My approach is eclectic and evidence-based, integrating modalities like Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). Whether you’re navigating daily stress or deep-rooted pain, we will work together to find the approach that best suits your needs.

I work with young adults, adults, and older teens that are experiencing difficulty with identity, sexual identity, trauma, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, stress, and relationship issues. I am affirming to the LGBTQIA+ community. I work from an integrative approach and draw from psychodynamic, internal family systems (IFS), person-centered, and feminist theory in my work with clients. I also integrate other approaches as appropriate.

Online coaching, counseling, and sex therapy for people who don’t fit into boxes. I am passionate about providing non-pathologizing care for queer, kinky, nonmonogamous, and/or people along the gender spectrum. I approach working with folks through a lens of intersectional feminism first, followed by a solution focused framework. I am always interested in how to take what was learned in session and translate it to real life.

I work with adult individuals. My approach is grounded in Person-Centered Therapy — you’re met with unconditional positive regard, no agenda. I draw from other evidence-based approaches depending on what you need, because therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all and neither are you. We will work collaboratively, at your pace, toward what actually matters to you.

You have found your solution. I offer people, specializing in couples, compassionate listening, with honest response, passed in kind respect to all people. I excel at finding meaning and purpose in your situation. I use labels only with your permission, and only for ease of communication. You are not what you feel or think. You are a being of love.

With a vision to change mental health, I offer people in my community safe space to heal from their trauma, to transform pain into character through the power of love. Our minds are stronger than you know. I will guide you into deeper awareness of your own potential. I offer many opportunities for change including, one on one, couples, groups and workshops.

I emphasize the body’s ability to heal itself and the regenerative potential of the therapeutic relationship.

I welcome people of all races, ethnicities, genders, and sexual orientations. You may identify as queer, genderqueer, male, female, trans, non-binary, gay, straight, pansexual, asexual, kinky, religious, spiritual, atheist, and I look forward to talking with you about how these distinctions of self, and more, inform your reality.

I believe that each person has infinite wisdom within themselves to address life’s challenges. Sometimes we lose access to that wisdom; I see my role as helping clients to reconnect with it. My goal as a therapist is to compassionately assist my clients in realizing their strengths and to cultivate self-compassion.

Drawing heavily from strength-based and narrative therapeutic approaches, I have worked with adolescents, children, adults, couples and families. I have extensive experience working with survivors of trauma, whether it be familial, societal, or medical in nature. I seek to create a safe space for people experiencing marginalization such as GLBTQ clients as well as those who identify as non-monogamous or kinky.

Oftentimes, these experiences are isolating, but you do not have to feel alone.
