One of my special interest areas is in therapy with Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer-Identified (LGBTQ+) individuals and couples. I have extensive experience working with queer-identified and trans-identified individuals and the surrounding issues of coming out, questioning, transitioning, family concerns, relationship dynamics, and self-esteem in a queer-friendly and affirming environment.

 

Therefore, in addition to treatment for disorders of anxiety and depression, CBT therapy is available for specific issues relating to sexual orientation/gender identity. These can include:

 

• Coming Out

• Family of Origin Issues

• Dating

• Issues of Sexuality

• Couples’ Therapy

• Family Planning

• Dealing with Discrimination

• Gender Identity

• Gender Transition
