Online LGBTQ+ Affirmative Therapy for Grief and Loss
Licensed Psychologist in Wisconsin, Utah, and Colorado and PSYPACT States
Aging-informed, LGBTQ+ specialized care to help you
navigate life's transitions with clarity and purpose
I help LGBTQ+ adults and older adults who are:
-
Coming out or transitioning in mid/late life

Adjusting to dementia caregiving

My Approach
​​​
Therapy with me offers a space where you don’t have to explain your LGBTQ+ identity, relationships, or chosen family. I understand the unique ways grief, aging, caregiving, and health challenges intersect with queer lives. Together, we will work to help you relate differently to difficult and painful experiences, and to rebuild a sense of direction.
​
I use the following evidence-based approaches in my work with clients, shown to be effective in improving peopl's lives and helping them feel able to move through the challenges life brings along:
​
​
-
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
-
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
-
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy
​
​
Although things feel hard now, I believe everyone can benefit from counseling at some point in life, and change is possible at any age. Seeking support is a profound way to care for yourself. If you would like help navigating life’s hardest moments, give me a call or book a 15-minute free consultation on my website at a time that is convenient for you.​​​​​​​​

Finding the Right Support
​​I specialize in providing high-focus, transformative individual therapy for adults age 30 and older. My practice is best suited for clients who are ready to engage in active, goal-oriented work, and who are able to manage their needs between our scheduled sessions.
​
To maintain the integrity of this clinical focus, I am not the right fit for clients who:
​
-
Are under the age of 30.
-
Seek solely supportive or maintenance-based therapy rather than active, evidence-based goal work.
-
Require frequent, unscheduled contact or "check-ins" between sessions.
-
Want relationship / couple's counseling
-
Primarily want to address substance use concerns
-
Need after-hours, crisis, or emergency care. (If you are in immediate distress, utilize these crisis resources or go to your nearest emergency room.)
​
I want to ensure you get the care you deserve. If my practice does not match what you are looking for, I recommend utilizing resources like Psychology Today or your insurance provider’s directory to filter for clinicians who specialize in the level of care, age range, or frequency of support you require.
​
Important: If You Are in Crisis My practice does not offer emergency, after-hours, or crisis intervention services. If you are experiencing a mental health emergency, acute distress, or are in immediate danger, please reach out for help right away:
​
-
Call or text 988 to connect with the National Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (available 24/7, free, and confidential).
​
-
If you are in immediate physical danger, please call 911 or proceed to your nearest emergency room.
I'd be honored to support your path to feeling like yourself again.
It starts with a conversation...
​
Finding the right therapist is about more than just credentials; it’s about finding someone who truly understands your lived experience and respects the unique path you’ve walked.
I offer a free, 15-minute consultation to help us determine if we are a good fit. This is a low-pressure space for you to share what you’re currently navigating, ask me questions about my approach, and see if my expertise aligns with your needs. There is no obligation to move forward—just a safe, quiet space to talk.
