If you’re like most LGBTQ professionals, creatives and entrepreneurs that I work with, you’ve probably spent most of your life feeling shame. Your culture, your community and maybe even your family told you you weren’t good enough. By now have probably built a successful life and had fantastic life experiences. But, despite the external success and validation, you still don’t feel good enough. Small rejections may trigger you. You frequently compare yourself to others. You don’t know how to feel confident as your full authentic self. Or maybe you don’t feel like you’re thriving as much as you could.

You don’t have to stay stuck. On the other side is a life feeling confident and good about yourself. You’ve probably heard that before, along with other promises of happiness and contentment. This one is different.

After years of specialized clinical training with the LGBTQ+ community, I have developed my own method for treating our unique needs. My method synthesizes the best of a variety of therapeutic modalities, including CBT, EMDR and attachment theory, that specifically targets the needs of our community. My goal isn’t to tell you what to do. My goal is to help you create the life you want to live.

That’s how I developed the Thriving Mind Method. Only with a strategic mindset can you build the fulfilling life you want—as efficiently as possible. I want to give you a plan of action designed to help you feel fulfilled with your life and confident in yourself.
